Preparing Your Child for School Success

Starting school is a major milestone for any child, and preparation is key to success. For children with special needs, this preparation becomes even more important.

Key areas to focus on include:

Academic Readiness:
- Pre-literacy skills like letter recognition and phonics
- Basic math concepts and number recognition
- Fine motor skills for writing and drawing

Social and Behavioral Skills:
- Following classroom routines and instructions
- Sitting and attending for appropriate periods
- Interacting appropriately with peers and teachers
- Managing emotions and self-regulation

Independence Skills:
- Self-care tasks like using the bathroom independently
- Organizing materials and belongings
- Asking for help when needed

Our School Readiness Program at AscendCare addresses all these areas through structured, play-based learning activities. We work closely with families and schools to ensure a smooth transition and continued success.
