Cause and Effect's TEAM APPROACH

girl 101690 640The program is overseen by a Certificated Teacher who will work with your child targeting general school readiness. The supporting team members, a Speech Language Pathologist and a fully trained Speech Therapy Assistant will target specific speech and language needs. Children with motor delays will be supported by an Occupational Therapist or Physical Therapist. A Behaviour Strategist may be available to support those children who would benefit from that support.

Daycare staff are invited to integrate goals and strategies into their programs, further supporting your child’s growth and development.

Parents are an integral part of their child’s team and will be given the opportunity to connect with the Teacher and therapist(s) during the year.
