School Readiness: Entry to School

 

‘School Readiness’ is not a skill that can be accomplished one time, but is an ongoing process that needs to be continually monitored. Teaching the appropriate ‘school readiness skills’ will help transition your learner up the scale of ‘restricted’ to less restrictive’ learning environments. The goal is to gradually transition towards the least restrictive learning environment (LRE) that is beneficial for your learner.
