WALKING CHALLENGE PROGRAM

- Serves students who are cognitively & physically high functioning
The Walking Challenge Program is a program for students who attend public school during the day, but require Conductive Education to help them develop to their physical and cognitive potential. The Walking Challenge focuses primarily on developing physical stamina in children with Cerebral Palsy so they can improve their balance, walking speed and strength. This program is an extension of the child's developmental plan from their teacher’s IEP goals, the OT, PT and other developmental professional’s plans for the child. Walking Challenge ensures that the students are maintaining their skills, and moving to the next level of independence.
YOUNGSTER PROGRAM (PARENT INVOLVED)
- Age group: birth to 3 years
- Tuesday and Thursday
- All levels of development
The youngster program is for children who have never participated in Conductive Education, or children who require parent involvement to participate. Early intervention is essential for these children to reach developmental milestones, and the youngster program is designed to provide both parent and child with the tools to meet those milestones. There is a strong emphasis on the senses, concentration, mobility, positioning, manipulation skills, intellectual and emotional development and speech.
INDIVIDUAL TUTORIAL PROGRAMS- IN HOME PROGRAMS
- Scheduled apart from regular class time
- Serves any level of child
- Designed for children who’s needs can not be met in one of our classes and children who can not come to CECO's facility
Individual tutoring with a conductor is available to any child assessed as being able to benefit from Conductive Education. Tutoring is a 1:1 intense program. The child and conductor (and parent) can work together on a daily basis for a maximum of 6 hours a week. Generally tutoring and home therapy takes place for 1-2 hours per day. Areas of specific development will be discussed, a plan created, goals set and individual program carefully planned. We will create individual programs as determined effective by the Conductor's assessment of a specific individual. A plan will be created to meet the child's specific needs.
