The Program.
Over the last couple of decades, the incidence of developmental disorders such as the autism spectrum disorder has risen alarmingly. As of now, intensive early intervention is the most promising approach for the alleviation of these. disorders.
School Readiness Programme at Divine Sanjeevani is an early intervention program for children with developmental language. Disorders such as.
- Pervasive developmental disorders(PDD).
- Autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
- Specific language impairment.(SLI)
- Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia.(DVD)
School Readiness Program at Sanjeevani is a self financed program managed by a multidisciplinary team of Speech Language Pathologist ,special educators ,Psychologist. With a ratio of 1:2. of staff to children.
The school readiness program provides intensive stimulation (Which is 3 hours /day, 5 days/ week over an academic year.) and training to small groups of children.
At Divine Sanjeevani we aim to integrate these children in regular schools subsequent to our INTENSIVE PRE SCHOOL INTERVENTION.
The training for each child is based on the profile of the child and covers several developmental domains such as MOTOR. COMMUNICATION, SOCIAL AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
It also addresses other related issues such as eye-contact, attention , sitting tolerance, compliance and behaviour.
Ideally, enrollment to the school readiness program should take place by the age of 2.5- 3years. This gives the child the maximum opportunity to attain age appropriate skills and behaviour by school entry age.
Children who achieved the required skills by the end of the first or second year are encouraged to integrate in regular schools at such time.
