Total Communication Therapy Expands Support for Out-of-School Children with Special Needs

1 PEMIMPIN DRIVE #11-08, Singapore - Feb. 12, 2025 - PRLog -- In Singapore, an increasing number of children aged 9 and above face significant challenges in traditional schooling, leading them to be out of school for extended periods. Whether it's developmental delays, learning difficulties, or emotional challenges, many children find it difficult to keep up with their peers. To address this, Total Communication Therapy is proud to introduce an enhanced School Readiness Programme to support children who have fallen behind and help them transition back to school with confidence.

The programme focuses on a holistic approach to school readiness not just academics but also essential developmental skills like emotional regulation, social interaction, and motor coordination. As Total Communication Therapy, puts it: "School readiness is about more than just literacy and numeracy. It's about equipping a child with the social, emotional, and cognitive tools they need to thrive in a classroom setting."

The School Readiness Programme offers a one-stop solution for children who may be struggling with:

1.     Academic Delays – Addressing key foundational skills such as reading, writing, and numeracy.

2.     Social & Emotional Development – Helping children improve self-regulation, communication, and peer interaction.

3.     Sensory & Behavioural Support – Tailoring strategies to ensure the child is comfortable and ready for the school environment.

4.     Classroom Adaptation – Developing personal management skills for smooth transitions into group learning environments.

Our targeted approach is designed for children facing learning challenges, including attentional difficulties, speech delays, and issues with sensory processing. The programme also supports children struggling with social skills, emotional regulation, or those who have been asked to repeat a grade.

"We focus on early intervention because the right support at the right time makes all the difference," says Total Communication's Team. "By identifying developmental gaps early on, we ensure that the child's transition to school is not only smooth but also empowering for them and their families."

By nurturing 21st-century skills like critical thinking, creativity, and independence, the School Readiness Programme helps children develop a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our team of expert therapists and educators create a supportive and inclusive environment where children can grow at their own pace.
