Early Childhood Program (2-6 Y.O. Children)
Early childhood programming includes both individual and group formats. Group formats will be driven by integrated needs such that children involved within the group are working on individualized yet complementary goals. Programming is informed through skill-based assessment and involves a combination of goal-directed and general skills teaching, and training specific to the identified pre-academic, developmental, behavioral, and functional needs.
Such needs may be driven by current challenges impeding successful inclusion within home, preschool, social, and community activities or placements. Materials and strategies shared as part of programming are encouraged to be shared among providers to best set up for success in use across a range of settings as applicable. The early childhood program is comprised of three service options (i.e., parent/child dyad, individual services, group services) that caregivers or providers can select from.
