Therapy Services

Upon admission to The Special Children's School, the appropriate therapist will review each child's current evaluations, IFSP or IEP. A Plan of Care will be written for children under 3 years of age. For children over 3 years, the IEP will be followed.

Along with the traditional gross motor, fine motor and communication assessments, these specialized evaluations and therapies are available:

• Oral Motor, Feeding and Self-help
• Sensory Integration/Processing
• Consultative Services with local Orthotists and vendors for seating and mobility
• Augmentative Communication and Assistive Technology
• Otoacoustic Emissions Screening (hearing and middle ear screening)

Team Evaluations are available for:

• Low and High Tech Assistive Technology
• Computers
• Adaptive Equipment
• Augmentative Communication

Therapies are most often delivered in the classroom setting in collaboration with the teaching staff. Therapists are instrumental in ensuring that each child's goals are carried out throughout the day as part of their daily routine. Pull-out therapy is used when deemed necessary by the therapist.
