School Readiness Program
At Waves Behavior Therapy, we understand the importance of preparing children for a successful transition into school. Our School Readiness Program is designed to equip children with the essential skills they need to thrive in a classroom setting, ensuring they are confident, independent, and engaged learners.
Who is this program for?
Our School Readiness Program is ideal for preschool-aged children or those who are transitioning into kindergarten or early elementary school but may need extra support in areas such as:
✅ Following classroom routines
✅ Sitting and attending to tasks
✅ Following multi-step instructions
✅ Developing early academic skills
✅ Enhancing social skills and peer interactions
✅ Increasing independence and self-help skills
How Does the Program Work?
Our approach is individualized, ensuring that each child receives personalized support based on their unique strengths and needs. We utilize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies to teach and reinforce essential school skills. Key components of our program include:
✔️ Structured Learning Activities: Teaching children how to focus, complete activities, and follow teacher-led instructions
✔️ Social Skills Development: Encouraging positive interactions, turn-taking, sharing, and cooperative play
✔️ Emotional Regulation Strategies: Helping children manage frustration, cope with transitions, and express emotions appropriately
✔️ Classroom Behavior Training: Teaching essential classroom behaviors such as raising hands, listening to instructions, and participating in group activities
✔️ Fine and Gross Motor Development: Strengthening writing, cutting, and other fine motor skills necessary for academic success
