OUR PROGRAMMES

HOPE offers a wide range of programmes tailored to the needs of children and parents. We also assist parents in choosing the most suited programme for their children.

One-to-0ne Sessions

Children receive therapy in one-to- one sessions with a trained therapist. Individual goals are set, based on each child's level and needs. Goal setting covers all areas of development including play skills. Language, cognition and social skills are woven together and delivered through a personalized approach.

Social Skills Groups

HOPE conducts social skills groups with the aim of providing a peer group for children to practice social skill development. Our group sessions comprise of learning the sub set of skills that culminate in playing games and conversing through a range of age appropriate games and interactions.

Summer Camps

HOPE conducts summer camps that aim to inculcate essential skills in children for functioning within a group. These camps consist of an array of fun games and activities along with some field trips around the city. These programmes are scheduled to align with children's summer vacation to keep them in touch with social skills.

Feeder Group

It is our starter level for group readiness. Children who require a higher number of sessions, and whose parents are unable to provide adequate stimulation at home are recommended for this group. The group focuses on speech therapy too. Children that progress well graduate from this group to the Bridge Programme.

Bridge Programme

As the name suggests, this programme helps bridge the gap between school and individual therapy sessions. Children who progress well in this session can transition to mainstream schools. Children who have shown progression but are not yet ready to join mainstream schools graduate to the STEPS programme.

STEPS

This is our school readiness program. Here, children with a higher level of difficulty attend an all-inclusive program with regular three hour long classes. As a part of this programme, we integrate the students in a mainstream nursery school and ensure the children are shadowed with a therapist. The programme focuses on

Parent Workshops

We hold workshops for parents with the aim to de-stress them and provide them with focused learning about the areas that are particularly essential to their child’s growth and development.

Special Ed. Course

This is a short term (3 month) course designed for parents & early child educators who plan to work with children with developmental delays, which involves a special focus on children with Autism.

Other Therapies

At HOPE, we provide speech therapy as well as physiotherapy to support our children. These therapies are also an integrated part of the Bridge Programme as well as STEPS Programme.
