- Special Needs
- At FPG, children with disabilities participate in all classroom activities, at whatever level of ability they are capable, and provided with whatever level of assistance they may need. Sometimes a child's participation requires an extra hand, special materials, a piece of adapted equipment, or just plain old creative thinking on the part of a teacher or specialist.
Although a team of specialists is available to support each child's developmental progress and inclusion, children at FPG are not pulled out of their classrooms for therapy. Instead, specialists share their expertise through consultation with teachers and, less frequently, through direct intervention within the context of classroom routines (e.g., morning circle, meal times, outdoor play, pretend play, storybook reading, field trips). The role of specialists and the purpose of "therapy" are to further enable each child to participate in the regular early childhood curriculum and to support his or her membership in the group.
