Therapy Schedule
To limit the number of transitions and maximize time in the classroom, students receive their therapies at the beginning or the end of their school day. Therapists are an integral part of the preschool program. They provide in-class instruction as well as direct therapy. A collaborative approach to planning is used to individualize student learning.
