Best Practice Guidlines
We believe that an integrated intervention program for each individual with special needs should:
- Meet the child at his or her developmental level and build from there
- Advance the child’s profile of individual differences: Sensory, Motor and Visual-Spatial, Communication and Language, Socially and Emotionally, Cognitively and Academically
- Use highly affective (or high affect cues) and relationship-based interactions to convey meaning
- Focus on initiation, intention and discovery to promote problem solving, symbolic thinking and abstraction
- Encourage reflection to develop one's sense of self and empathy with others
- Respect the family is an equal partner in treatment
