The image that comes up in the mind when one says autism support or special education involves the process of therapy sessions and development stages and suchlike.
The reality, however, is empowering a child to gain confidence to socialize within the normal setting, to articulate their needs, to make friends and follow procedures, adapt to school environments, among others.
The emphasis at Third Eye Center is not just on developmental issues. Therapy, education, behavioural intervention and family involvement are the focus of preparing children for the real world.
A diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, speech delay, developmental delay or learning disability does not limit what a child can achieve.
Understanding is all-important:
- The way in which the child learns.
- How they communicate
- The way they think and gain knowledge.
- Their relationships with the environment in which they live.
The Science Behind Personalized Learning
Neurodiverse children often need different teaching and learning approaches, research-backed interventions, and individualized instruction that is tailored to their developmental profile.
Personalized programs are created around:
- Cognitive development
- Communication abilities
- Social interaction skills
- Behavioural regulation
- Functional independence
This ordered method of learning helps to keep learning meaningful, attainable and developmentally appropriate.
How ABA Therapy Supports Everyday Functioning
One of the evidence-based methods employed in Third Eye Center’s learning and behaviour programs is Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). ABA is about learning to understand behaviour, teaching functional skills and reinforcing positive actions through structured learning opportunities.
ABA interventions can help children develop:
- Attention and concentration
- Communication skills
- Social interaction abilities
- Self-help skills
- Classroom readiness
Building Communication Through Speech Therapy
Communication is the basis for learning, relationships and independence.
Some children may have a difficulty with:
- Expressing needs
- Understanding language
- Social communication
- Verbal interaction
Speech therapy interventions offered at Third Eye Center aim to enhance verbal and non-verbal communication, language understanding, expressive language and meaningful social interaction.
Occupational Therapy and Sensory Development
Occupational therapy works on the following areas:
- Fine motor skills
- Gross motor coordination
- Sensory processing
- Daily living skills
- Self-care activities
Children feel more comfortable and confident in school, home and social situations.
Preparing Children for School Readiness
Academic achievements are not the only things needed for academic success.
Children need to build up their skills in:
- Listening skills
- Attention control
- Classroom participation
- Social interaction
- Following instructions
Third Eye Center provides programs for school readiness and transition assistance to children to prepare them for the inclusive educational setting..
Why Parent Training Matters
Parents monito the development process on a daily basis. As such, parent involvement is important to Third Eye Center as a way to:
- Parent training programs
- Counseling sessions
- Progress reviews
- Home-based learning guidance
Parents, who understand the strategies that are used during intervention, will reinforce developmental gains outside the intervention environment.
