Description

A Lighthouse Project therapist will provide a comprehensive evaluation to assess a child’s abilities and disabilities, and write up a report including recommendations for interventions at home and school.

Parents are asked to complete an in-depth questionnaire describing their child’s history, strengths, and weaknesses. In addition, copies of any existing reports from professionals such as psychologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, neurologists, teachers, etc. are provided to the clinic in advance. All this data is reviewed by the Clinic Director at The Lighthouse Project. Then a one-hour conference is scheduled to review the findings, and develop a short-term and long-term plan for successful interventions.

The Readiness Center combines three aspects of practice into one packaged agenda. It offers occupational therapy interventions, helps develop communication skills, and teaches appropriate social skills in an intensive daily program. The center caters for children that are having difficulties adjusting to their preschools due to social, sensory, or communication challenges. It prepares the children for a successful transition from the Readiness Center into their future educational settings.
