What is the individual initial visit about?
The initial visit is an important step to prepare for Friendship Club. At this meeting, the interventionist meets the child and talks to the parents. The child gets to see the play space and play with some toys. They get their picture taken and walk through the ‘opening routine’ without any other children present. When they return for the first session, they feel more comfortable because they know what to expect. The parent and interventionist have a chance to talk and outline individual goals for the program. Parents often bring in IEPs or other reports to share. The interventionist will ask questions about the child’s strengths and weakness. She will want to know what the parents would like their child to get out of the program. The initial individual meeting allows parents, children and interventionist to get to know eachother.
