STAR Institute's school readiness program provides opportunities that develop social success and communication, self-regulation within a school setting and help every child become an active part of their classroom community. Our goal is to provide a supportive, therapeutic group program that allows your child to build confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, and maintain the regulation they need to transition to the school setting. School Readiness is designed by a therapist with extensive training and background in disordered sensory processing, occupational therapy in the school system, and child development. Each session is led by a fully licensed and trained OT. The schedule can accommodate your child's current school schedule.
Our occupational therapists have extensive training in sensory integration approach and the DIR/Floortime methodology, both of which focus on the child's capacity to regulate and communicate.
This program helps with:
- Increase participation in school-related large group activities (circle time, snack time)
- Increase independence in school-related hygiene (toileting and hand washing)
- Increase skill development for fine, gross and visual-motor skills
- Increase consistent communication of basic needs and wants
- Increase efficiency and timeliness of transitions
