Preschool Intervention (PSI)
This program serves disabled children ages 3-4. The multidisciplinary curriculum and developmentally appropriate strategies provide an instructional program for all children based on their individual needs. PSI teachers are trained to understand and meet the needs of their young disabled children. Preschool screening is conducted with the purpose of identifying potential health, development, and educational problems. This program focuses on:
- Helping young children with special needs to grow toward independence and to strive for maximum potential in physical, social, cognitive, communicative, and self-help areas
- Assisting parents to become more proficient with goal setting and behavior training techniques
- Offering support to parents through conferences, parent group meetings, and activity oriented workshops
