Before coming up with the individualized program for the child we will conduct assessments in key areas: communication and language skills, play and interest skills, social skills, independent skills, learning to learn skills and behaviours. After careful observations we will then design an individualised curriculum to start addressing these areas.
Our assessment is not one off, it is ongoing. As we work with the child we will add and/or make adjustments accordingly to what is the need of the child ensuring the child’s short and long term learning needs are addressed in a meaningful way.
