Preschool development includes play and social participation
School readiness involves more than early reading or writing. Preschool development includes communicating needs, playing with others, taking part in routines and managing transitions with appropriate support. Social skills development in early childhood is considered in the context of the child's communication, sensory needs and interests.
DARC connects relevant special education, occupational therapy and speech-language goals after assessment. A plan may include visual routines, supported group participation, self-care skills or communication strategies, with parent and teacher guidance where appropriate.
