for reading/homework for siblings of all ages, so long as they are
accompanied by an parent or guardian.
Do you provide measurable goals?
- Each group has their own collaborative goals and each child has additional individual goals. Our goals are based upon social skills, executive functioning, coping skills (sensory skills), and self-esteem. Goals are measured through formal and informal processes including observation and data collection. For families with a student enrolled in one or more of our summer sessions, parents can log on to the student’s private webpage and check on their child’s progress. Additionally, at the end of the summer you will receive a detailed report about your child’s goals and progress.
