What a session looks like and the role of parents
We tailor the program to each child: their condition, abilities and goals. Adaptive PE is part of the "Shared Goals" program together with ABA and speech therapy: all specialists work toward common goals, and a skill that appears in one session is reinforced in another. The Adaptive PE coach holds an ABA Time certificate.
