That early education for young children with disabilities is very important to maximize the child’s potential and to prevent the occurrence of secondary disabilities.
The parents of young children need to be provided with flexible program options that cater to their child’s individual needs, including time in home, in the community and access to specialized programs.
That children benefit from consistent application of therapy and educational strategies achieved through the skills of a Developmental Specialist for each child together with a team of teachers and therapists who establish, model and monitor these strategies for the Developmental Specialists and the family. (Consultative Model).
Transitions into school systems can be challenging for children and their families. Support and advocacy from a highly experienced education/therapy team makes for a more positive and successful experience.
