Ideal for those who live in remote areas with limited access to services.

The purpose of this service is to provide the family and teaching staff with an assessment of the learner's strengths and areas of need based upon direct observation and interaction with the child. Assessment of a range of skill domains, e.g. verbal behavior, self care, socialization, problem behavious, etc. will be assessed. Assessment tools may include but are not limited to: the ABBLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills) and VB-MAPP. The assessment will also include a determination of the teaching methods which appear to facilitate the learner's acquisition of important skills. Through hands-on coaching, the child's therapists or parent(s) will be trained to implement the most effective teaching procedures.

Process: Your child will spend 30 sessions (each session is three hours in length) at The Portia Learning Centre Inc. Assessments, program design and deciphering optimal implementation procedures will be performed by one of our Senior Therapists and Instructor Therapists during the first 20 sessions.

The last ten sessions will include a teaching component in which our staff will training your child's therapist / the parent how to implement the program effectively.

The program is yours to take home and implement with your team.

Ongoing Consultative Services are available.
