Parent Training and Learning Kit
Working closely with parents and caregivers who are equipped with knowledge and the right tools for effective follow through of recommended home activities will increase positive outcomes of your child’s intervention programme.
The Olive Tree early intervention team, however, understands the challenges behind achieving an effective home learning environment. One such challenge is providing adequate understanding of basic principles of an early intervention (EI) programme. Another challenge lies in choosing materials, toys, and worksheets that are appropriate for implementation of your child’s individual education plan (IEP) at home.
To address these challenges, our early intervention team has developed a training programme that will support parents and caregivers by teaching strategies that are useful during follow through activities. This training programme comes with an individualized learning kit inclusive of therapist practice session, parent practice session, and feedback session to simulate several environmental and restructuring strategies that will increase the likelihood of your child’s participation.
