Early intervention & education program (EIEP) is managed by a multidisciplinary team of Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Special Educators, with 6 children per unit and a 1: 2 ratio of staff to children. The EIEP program provides intensive stimulation (3 hours/day, 6 days/week, over an academic year) and training to small groups of children. At Shauryaa therapy center, we aim to integrate these children in regular schools subsequent to our intensive preschool intervention. The training for each child is based on the profile of the child and covers several developmental domains such as motor, communication, social and cognitive development. It also addresses other related issues such as eye contact, attention and sitting tolerance, compliance and behavior. Ideally enrollment to the EIEP program should take place by the age of 2 ½ - 3 years. This gives the child the maximum opportunity to attain age appropriate skills and behavior by school entry age. Children who achieve the required skills by the end of the first or second year are encouraged to integrate in regular schools at such time.
