A preliminary assessment will be conducted to determine whether or not a child is a candidate for our programs and a person who may benefit from our programs. The students will be asked to demonstrate natural basic tasks based on his/her age level.

Once a child has been accepted into one of our programs, he/she will be evaluated through a video taping session. During the taping session, the child will be asked to perform every physical and perceptual movement since birth (crawling, creeping, walking, etc.). After the evaluation is completed, the video tape will be reviewed thoroughly by our staff and the child’s parents. Based upon the development patterns required for the child’s specific age, motor and sensory deficits, a lesson plan will be developed. The duration and intensity of the lesson plan will be based upon the severity of the child’s need.  Completing the detailed evaluation before a child begins their program enables our staff to address deficits immediately, thus accelerating the child’s development.

Alternatively, children can begin their program without having completed the taped evaluation.  In such cases, the first several weeks of their participation will be spent evaluating the child and piecing together the lesson plan. Once the lesson plan is completed, the staff will begin to address the documented deficits.
