The Learning Lane: New program in Houston-area

[Guest guest]

Sharing....~~~~~~~~~~~ROO LANE The Learning Lane is exited to announce a new program for early learners, ROO Lane.The

Roo child is a young, newly or fairly newly, diagnosed child who has typically not had previous exposure to intervention – especially intensive intervention. The child may range in skills from non-vocal to

vocal, but typically has a delay in language abilities. The child may

enter into the program with behavioral challenges experienced by the family that are beyond the “typical†reactions seen in other children that age. The Roo child may range in self-care (e.g. toileting), academic abilities and social abilities, but there usually is a delay in

these areas for each child as well. In addition, play for the Roo child may not be as developed as what may be seen in most children that age. With most young children, the ability to participate in a group is

challenging, but may be more so intensified for the child entering the Roo program. The Roo child will experience an individualized program with on-going assessment that will address the core issues mentioned, as well as any other issues specific to that child. The

Roo classroom is geared for children who range in age from 12months to 3.5 years. The program hours are Monday-Thursday from 9:00-11:30 for the morning group for the school year, with a 3 day a week program in the summer months that will allow for a transition of the child either into a school setting or into the full time program if that can be accommodated for. The classroom is staffed with a 4:5 ratio (with the class never exceeding 5 children), and includes a classroom environment in which children are exposed to individualized instruction in a 1:1 setting, small group or full group setting. The program consists of the

classroom environment as well as monthly visits to the home by the BCBA

or Master Teacher to address problems specific to the home, or to generalize skills learned at school to the home, as well as a monthly parent participation in the classroom. Please

contact The Learning Lane for pricing on the program and to see if your

child is a candidate for this program. The Learning Lane does work with insurance companies for families whose insurance covers Behavioral Intervention services. The program begins October 2012. At this time we are accepting new clients for the program so please contact The Learning Lane if you would like your child to participate.The Learning Lane25232 Grogan's Park Dr The Woodlands, Tx 77380Phone: Email: jennifer@...
