Supplementary Information
Training Details:
Training will be conducted in centers or kindergartens (at school), 1-2 sessions per week, each session will last 1 hour. Parents and teachers are welcome to visit the center during the training period to learn about the children's learning progress and training methods.
Cooperation with schools:
Each profession will review the children's progress regularly through phone calls, observations and consultations with the school and parents. Every six months, each profession will conduct an assessment of the children and the IEP will be coordinated by the IEP Committee to determine the IEP. The IEPs are followed up by the school service team, teachers in the classroom and parents at home, so that the children can build up a good foundation and catch up with the children of the same age.
