Pre School

Preschool programs for children with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders play a crucial role in providing early intervention and support to help children develop essential skills, improve social interactions, and prepare for future educational settings. These programs are designed to be inclusive, individualized, and evidence-based to meet the unique needs of each child.

 

Our pre-school programme is focused on helping children successfully transition to mainstream schools. Our pre-school program aims to provide the necessary support and skills to help children successfully navigate the challenges of mainstream or inclusive education classrooms. Listed below are some of the key components of our preschool program for children with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders:

 

• Age and Developmental Stage: Our pre-school program typically serves children between the ages of 3 and 6, preparing them for the transition to a mainstream school.

 

• Individualized Transition Plans: Each child at Sitaray has an individualized transition plan that outlines specific goals, objectives, and strategies to address their unique needs and challenges. These plans are typically developed collaboratively with input from parents, educators, therapists, and specialists.

 

• Academic Preparation: Academic readiness skills, such as pre-reading, pre-writing, and early math skills, are a focus in pre-school program to prepare students for elementary school curricula.

 

• Social Skills Training: Our pre-school program prioritizes social skills development, including teaching children how to interact with peers, communicate effectively, and engage in group activities.

 

• Behavioral Support: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and behavioral strategies are often used to address challenging behaviors, reinforce positive behavior, and teach self-regulation skills.

 

• Communication and Language Development: Speech therapy and language interventions continue to be a key component in our pre-school programme to support communication development, including both expressive and receptive language skills.

 

• Progress Monitoring and Ongoing Assessment: Our therapists collect regularly collect data to inform progress, the data is used to track a child's development, adjust intervention strategies, and ensure that the child is prepared for the transition to elementary school.

 

• Collaboration with Elementary Schools: We have an arrangement with several mainstream schools in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to ensure a smooth transition process and to provide support to teachers and staff in the child's future educational setting.
