Programme d'autisme pour les enfants de moins de 6 ans (Reach ABA)

Le programme Reach ABA offre des services aux enfants de Delta, de Surrey et de certaines parties de Langley.

PLAY AND LEARN PEER CONNECTIONS – REACH CENTRES ONLY

 Play and Learn Peer Connections is a centre-based program that focuses on teaching children how to succeed in preschool, school, and community settings. Children have individualized goals, and participate in play-based, highly structured 1-1 and small group activities. Children attend three days a week for a total of 27-30 hours per month. Each child’s group readiness will be assessed prior to starting the program.

1-1 Time

All children will have 1-1 sessions each day, based on the goals outlined in their program plan. Goals may include developing children’s language and communication, play, cognitive, fine motor, and self-help skills.

Group Time

Children participate in small groups of 2-3 children. Intervention goals focus on preparing children for other group environments such as preschool, school, and community settings. Group activities involve peer interaction and are designed to help children practice the communication and play skills they learn in 1-1 sessions. Children will also learn social skills, emotional regulation, and flexibility as they participate in activities with peers.

PLAY AND LEARN FAMILY CONNECTIONS – CENTRE or HOME 1-1 ONLY

 Play and Learn Family Connections promotes children’s learning in the areas of communication, play, social skills, fine motor, cognitive, and self-help skills. Children have individualized goals and participate in play-based, highly structured 1-1 sessions. Children attend two days a week for a total of 16-18 hours per month. Parents learn teaching strategies to develop their child’s skills, and increase their child’s engagement in family activities.

 1-1 Time

All children will have 1-1 sessions each time, based on the goals outlined in their program plan. Goals may include developing children’s language and communication, play, cognitive, fine motor, and self-help skills.

Parent Participation

Parents are important teachers for their children. You and your child’s team will set goals for teaching your child new skills in home routines. Your team will provide coaching and teaching strategies to meet these goals. Goals may include toilet training, expanding your child’s diet, and teaching your child to communicate.

REACH s'engage à fournir des services accessibles. Pour garantir un accès équitable à notre programme ABA, nous avons décrit ci-dessous nos critères d'entrée, de transition et de sortie.

Critère d'entrée:
N'importe qui peut référer un enfant atteint de troubles du spectre autistique (TSA) pour des services à condition que le tuteur légal ait donné une autorisation verbale ou écrite. Les enfants doivent :

• avoir un diagnostic de TSA
• avoir accès à un financement pour l'autisme par l'intermédiaire du ministère du Développement de l'enfance et de la famille
• avoir moins de 5,0 ans.

Critères de transition :

Les enfants qui déménagent dans une autre province doivent faire la transition vers un fournisseur de services dans cette province. Les services en autisme diffèrent dans chaque province et territoire.

Les enfants peuvent également faire la transition vers un autre fournisseur de services s'ils quittent la région de Delta, Surrey ou Langley si cela est plus pratique pour la famille.

Critère de sortie:
Les enfants seront libérés à la fin du mois de leur 6^e anniversaire.
