Preparing a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for preschool requires a specialized approach to address their unique developmental needs. Caliber Autism’s Pre-K Readiness program is designed to provide individualized assessments and tailored interventions that focus on enhancing critical skills. This program targets areas such as social skills, communication, behavioral regulation, sensory integration, and motor skills. By establishing structured routines with visual schedules and introducing pre-academic skills like basic counting and literacy, the program ensures that children are well-prepared for the preschool environment.
The Pre-K Readiness program also emphasizes the importance of parental involvement. Parents are trained to implement strategies at home, creating a consistent and supportive environment for their children. This collaborative approach helps reinforce the skills learned during the program and promotes continuous progress. The goal is to provide children with the tools they need to thrive in a preschool setting, fostering their development and easing the transition to formal education. With a comprehensive and personalized approach, Caliber Autism’s Pre-K Readiness program sets the stage for long-term success for children with ASD.
