If you visit a PEP classroom,
you might see several adults in the room. The special
education teacher designs the daily program which is
based on preschool curriculum and is play-based (since
play is the way most young children learn). The paraeducator
helps the teacher implement these plans in which each
child's goals and objectives are addressed. On different
days, there may be a therapist in the room working
with small groups or individual children. Sometimes
a therapist works outside the classroom with a child
individually. The therapist integrates their activities
into the classroom curriculum, and the teacher integrates
the therapists' techniques into the child's activities. |
