Early Intervention (Ages 18 months- 6 years )
As Aimsiú recognises the value and importance of the parents’ involvement to the success of the child’s program, we require a commitment of 7 hours a week from at least one parent or a combination of both, to conduct the targeted goals in the home setting. Parents have the option to add home tutors to the team, in order to build towards the recommended 20 hours a week. Our Early Intervention program is designed for children between the ages of 18 months to 6 years old.
Aimsiú does not employ home tutors (however you are welcome to source your own home tutors, which we will train on your child's’ specific individual program). Instead Aimsiú allocates one highly qualified Behaviour Specialist to each family, allowing more versatility in program modification on the spot, in weekly sessions with the parent. Weekly sessions with the Behaviour Specialist, accelerates the opportunity to progress skills in a more effective and efficient manner.
Parents and caregivers can contact us for a free initial 30 minute phone consult, to discuss your child’s needs and determine if we are the right provider for you. If you decide to sign up for our program, please see the following outline of phases below:
