Depending on the severity of the child a Picture Exchange System (PECS) may be necessary to transition through activities. Most moderate to severe Special Day Classes follow a vertical PECS schedule which the child understands that he or she must check after each activity. This type of instruction is extremely beneficial to those children who are between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. Incorporating this methodology early in a child’s life allows them to transition and understand the SDC system with minimal behavioral occurrences. When implementing instruction we like to incorporate two facets of learning. For example, if the child has difficulty learning sight words we can implement gross motors skills via riding a three wheeled chariot along with writing the words in chalk. Making a maze of sight words allows the student to participate in gross motor and language arts at the same time. The task at heart is decided by the parent either through an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or by their level of importance. Assessing the child is the first step in the process. Any collaborating with teachers, speech pathologist and occupational therapists can substantially help the customized tutoring process. Furthermore, it is important to understand what the child works for. A token reinforcement system may be extremely beneficial to ensure the utmost concentration.

Hours of instruction are available between 9am and 8pm. Hourly rates are deciphered upon the complexity of the task, the child’s current disability, and the amount of hours of service.
