School Shadowing Program
Mainstream schools often present challenges for children with ASD. Our clinical team works with teachers in schools to support them through shadowing and integration plans.
Preparing children with ASD for school is one of our major missions. For integration to be successful, collaboration with the school and a thorough and individualized systematic transition plan is crucial. Consultants will discuss with school personnel to devise a plan. Therapists will accompany the child to school, help the child adapt to the new environment and apply his/her skills.
