Center-Based Program

The center-based programs at Little Star consist of a therapist working one-on-one with your child. Most children attend five days a week for several hours a day. Your child will have opportunities to work in small groups with other children during circle time, craft time and game time. However, the majority of the time is spent with your child working on his/her specific program goals. Because of the one-to-one ratio, the therapy is intense. This intense therapy gives your child the opportunity to respond hundreds of times each hour - that is, each skill is practiced again and again until it becomes natural and routine. Your child works at his own pace on skills that are meaningful to him/her. Your child will have his/her own work space but therapy may take place in a variety of settings (lunch room, motor room, etc) to allow for the opportunity of skill generalization.
