Early Learner Program
Our Early Learner Program is designed to build the skills of young children, aged 1-7 years, with developmental delays or skills deficits.
What skills do we teach?
While each program is tailored to the unique needs of the child and family, here are some of the common outcomes our Early Learners achieve.
- Improving functional communications skills.
- More consistent sleeping and bedtime routines.
- Better self-care skills such as dressing, feeding and toileting.
- Play and social skills that promote positive interaction with other children.
- Improving emotional self-regulation, managing impulsivity and coping with transitions.
- Building and maintaining nurturing relationships with parents, siblings and family members.
- Growing autonomy and confidence, participating in daily activities, and increasing quality of life.
How does it work?
Our Early Learner Program delivers intensive early intervention supports. Evidence shows that early and intensive therapy is more effective in growing a child’s skills.
Each behaviour therapy program is designed and directed by one of our experienced Therapy Supervisors. Lizard will also provide skilled Therapy Assistant(s) who form part of the team and deliver 1-on-1 therapy sessions with your child to teach new skills.
Behaviour therapy sessions will typically be provided in your home or in kindy/ day care.
What will you need?
Our Early Learner Program lasts for 10 months, and is suited to families who have the availability for at least 3 weekly sessions, as well as the funding to support an intensive program.
How our programs work
Our programs are based on the latest evidence-based practices to achieve the best results.
We start each program by teaching the three foundational “learning to learn” skills of communication, toleration and collaboration.
Based on the child and family needs, we then deliver a tailored program of learning on new life skills such as communication, self-care, and social skills.
