Overview
Our program is customized to your child's unique needs, pace, and interests, and is delivered one-on-one with a holistic and positive approach. By utilizing effective and proven tools and strategies, we foster meaningful change. Parent/support person involvement is important in fostering a shared language and understanding to provide consistent support after program completion. Through systematically and thoroughly addressing gaps, we observe that characteristics begin to diminish, allowing natural growth in areas of deficiency. This process removes barriers, supports lifelong learning, and enables full participation in life.


Early Years is a four-step program
-
The support person receives a set of self-regulation tools to help them remain calm and relaxed while working with the client.
-
The client develops accurate perceptions and gains self-awareness through self-regulation techniques.
-
Developmental concepts are explored and created using the multisensory medium of clay.
-
Learning is reinforced through daily life experiences, which are crucial for the client to integrate the concepts independently and assimilating them into future thinking and behaviour.
