School Readiness Program

Neuropedia’s School Readiness Program promotes children's confidence within the classroom and teaches pre-learning skills in order to facilitate a successful transition into the school setting

The children will be taught in small groups using a multidisciplinary approach to participate in activities that develop the appropriate skills required in a larger group environment

The program will be supervised by Behaviour Analysts and will also include weekly group Occupational and Speech therapy sessions

The development of the School Readiness skills allows the child to have the prerequisite skills needed for the classroom, to better access the curriculum in school, and for teachers to broaden and further develop the child’s skills
