Therapists and teachers work with parents to develop individualized therapy and educational programs based on the assessment results. An active, creative, fun curriculum is offered by teachers and classroom assistants. At least one adult is available for every four children in the classroom. Therapists work closely with parents to develop realistic home routines that reinforce therapeutic activities. Parent Support Services Therapists and teachers interact with parents regularly to update them on the progress of their child.
Formal feedback is given through parent conferences held several times per year.
Parents can learn more about their child and his or her disabilities with resources in the Developmental Preschool or university libraries. Parents learn from each other through the activities of the Parent Support Group, which meets formally and informally throughout the year. Transition Assistance Preschool staff work with students, family members, and school officials to help students make a successful transition from the preschool to the public or private school setting. In general, the school year schedule follows that of the Perry Township schools. Therapy services are covered by many health insurers.
