The Children's Annex provides support
services to young children in their homes and other community settings.
Special education, speech and language therapy and counseling can be provided
in daycare, preschools and family homes. Collaborative efforts between regular
and special education professionals can assist children with special needs
to successfully remain in their neighborhood programs.For young children
with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), we can design home programs
employing the principles of applied behavioral analysis. These programs
utilize discrete trial teaching as an instructional tool to teach a variety
of skills within the home.
The Children's Annex is committed to preparing
children, whenever possible, to return to a less restrictive educational
environment. As a child shows improved ability to function successfully
in a Children's Annex placement, an individually designed integration program
can provide regular experiences with more typical children or in a more
typical educational setting. Consultant teacher services and training programs
are provided to our students' school districts to support their efforts
to meet special needs. Mainstreaming can occur in academic areas, special
subject instruction, recess and lunch. Each child's progress is carefully
monitored to ensure a successful experience and to determine when the child
is ready to leave The Children's Annex and be placed full time in a less
restrictive class setting. |
