Mild / Moderate

Alberta Education funding for children starting as early as 3 years & 8 months of age with a mild or moderate delay in development. Funding is available for a maximum of 2 years with the last year intended for Kindergarten.

• I’m for Kids Team provides screening at our partnering private preschools at the request of individual preschools.
• We assist preschool teachers by providing appropriate support to children with developmental delays.
• Children identified with a Mild or Moderate Delay will be assigned a Program Support Assistant (PSA).
• Each child’s program is overseen by an Education Coordinator as well as a Speech Language Pathologist, an Occupational Therapist, a Physiotherapist, or a Psychologist.
• Programming occurs within the child’s private preschool and/or in a group session outside of preschool session. There are two IPPs: ongoing goal reviews and revisions.
• Children will “graduate” from the Mild/Moderate program when all of the goals are achieved. Often this date of release from the program occurs prior to the end of the school year.
• Our M/M team offers Professional Development training to all of our Preschool Teachers; workshops are available to parents as well as ongoing support.
