Doctors
Doctor's have regular contact with children before they reach school age. Such visits allow developmental and other health problems to be identified and treated early in a child's life. They being the key people in any health care service have the opportunity to be the first point of contact when parents have concerns about their child's development or behavior. They provide recommendations for screening infants and young children and intervening with families to identify developmental delays and disabilities. Whether a problem is medical or behavioral, or both, finding it early and treating it can greatly improve the child's chances of reaching his or her full potential for physical, mental, and social-emotional well-being. They are an integral part of a collaborative effort of an interagency, family-centered system of care where they refer the child and family to a specialist for further assessment and diagnosis, such as to a psychologist, speech-language therapist, occupational therapist, and/or physiotherapist. The doctors most commonly consulted by parents are:
Pediatrician: A pediatrician provides medical services to infants, children, and adolescents and are trained in overall growth and development of children. Neurologist : A neurologist identifies if there is a possible damage to brain functions. Psychiatrist : A psychiatrist diagnoses and treats severe behavioural and emotional problems and will sometimes prescribe medication. Speech Therapy Program
The primary objective of the program is to correct articulation disorders, voice disorders, and language delay of children with speech difficulties. To re mediate the student’s speech and articulatory defects, the program includes such activities as vocal practice, structured conversation, story telling, dramatization, asking, and answering questions in an atmosphere conducive to learning. Physical Therapy Program
The Physical Therapy program primarily focuses on children whose potential or actual impairments are related to the neuromusculoskeletal, pulmonary or cardiovascular systems by providing exercises for increasing strength, endurance, coordination and range of motion, providing stimuli to facilitate motor activity and learning instruction activities of daily living, and the use of assistive devices, and the application of physical agents to relieve pain. Occupational Therapy Program
Occupational Therapy is the assessment and treatment of physical and psychiatric conditions using specific, purposeful activity to prevent disability and promote independent function in all aspects of daily life. The goal of our Occupational Therapy program is to help children and young adults with special needs achieve to the greatest degree possible age-appropriate self-help, play, and learning skills. With the use of meaningful activities, the program seeks to maximize the potential of individuals in overcoming the effects of developmental delays and disabilities. Special Education Program
Special Education is that component of education which employs special instructional methodology (Remedial Instruction), instructional materials, learning-teaching aids and equipment to meet educational needs of children with specific learning disabilities. Remedial instruction or Remediation aims at improving a skill or ability in a student. Techniques for remedial instruction may include providing more practice or more explanation, repeating information, and devoting more time to working on the skill. For example, a student having a low reading level could be given remediation via one-on-one reading instruction, phonic instruction, or practice in reading aloud. Special education teachers work with children and youths who have a variety of disabilities. A small number of special education teachers work with students with mental retardation or autism, primarily teaching them life skills and basic literacy. However, the majority of special education teachers work with children with mild to moderate disabilities, using the general education curriculum, or modifying it, to meet the child's individual needs. Most special education teachers instruct students at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level, although some teachers work with infants and toddlers. Special educators provide programs for specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, visual impairments, autism, combined deafness and blindness, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments. Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. Early identification of a child with special needs is an important part of a special education teacher's job. Early intervention is essential in educating children with disabilities. Special education teachers use various techniques to promote learning. Depending on the disability, teaching methods can include individualized instruction, problem-solving assignments, and small group work. When students need special accommodations in order to take a test, special education teachers see that appropriate ones are provided, such as having the questions read orally or lengthening the time allowed to take the test. Special education teachers help to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each special education student. The IEP sets personalized goals for each student and is tailored to the student's individual needs and ability. Teachers work closely with parents to inform them of their child's progress and suggest techniques to promote learning at home. They are involved in the students' behavioral, social, and academic development, helping the students develop emotionally, feel comfortable in social situations, and be aware of socially acceptable behavior. Special education teachers communicate and work together with parents, social workers, school psychologists, speech therapists, occupational and physical therapists, school administrators, and other teachers.
