Supporting Skills for Successful School Transitions


   Services    School Development Program


Comprehensive Skill Assessment

Our program begins with a thorough assessment of each child's current skills and areas needing improvement. We use evidence-based tools to evaluate communication, social skills, and behavior, ensuring a personalized approach to their development.

Targeted Skill Development

We provide intensive ABA therapy focusing on key areas such as:

  • Social Skills: Teaching appropriate social behaviors, understanding social cues, and fostering meaningful relationships
  • Communication Skills: Enhancing verbal and non-verbal communication to facilitate better interactions with peers and teachers.
  • Behavior Management: Addressing and reducing problematic behaviors that may interfere with learning and social integration.

Academic Readiness

Our program incorporates comprehensive pre-academic skills development designed to facilitate educational readiness. This encompasses the cultivation of foundational literacy, writing proficiency, and cognitive capabilities. We emphasize the development of classroom-essential competencies such as directive comprehension, sustained attention, and collaborative group engagement. Through strategic partnerships with educational professionals, we ensure our curriculum aligns with academic standards, facilitating a seamless transition from therapeutic environment to educational setting.


Frequently Asked Questions


The decision to transition to school is a collaborative process between the family and the child's clinicians. We collaborate closely with families and educational professionals to develop a detailed transition plan tailored to each child's unique needs and strengths. This plan includes:

  • Gradual Integration: Slowly introducing the child to the school environment to ease the transition.
  • Teacher Training: Providing training and resources to teachers to understand and support the child's unique needs.
  • Ongoing Support: Regular follow-up and support from our therapists to ensure the child is adapting well to the new setting.

We believe that family participation is crucial for a successful transition. Our program includes:

  • Parent Support, Consultation, and Training: Equipping parents with strategies to reinforce skills at home.
  • Regular Progress Updates: Keeping families informed about their child's progress and any adjustments needed in the transition plan.

Our team works in partnership with schools to ensure a seamless transition. Services include:

  • School Consultations: Regular meetings with school staff to discuss the child's progress and address any concerns.
  • In-School Support: Providing ABA therapists to assist the child in the classroom during the initial transition period.
  • Resource Provision: Offering materials and resources to schools to support the child’s ongoing development.
