Therapeutic Support during School Years

This program is aimed at school-age children and young people (aged 5 to 16 on average). It seeks to ensure that children and young people, alongside the support they receive from the Corporation, are studying at kindergarten or in a formal education school, whether primary or secondary.

About our School-Age Therapeutic Program

This program is aimed at school-age children and young people (average age 5 to 16). It aims to ensure that children and young people, alongside the support they receive from the Corporation, are studying at kindergarten or in a formal education school, whether primary or secondary. Its objective is to develop motor, cognitive, communicative, emotional, and social skills that enable people with Down syndrome to participate in school and family life. 

The IAR program includes different modalities depending on the needs of children and young people:

IAR

A program consisting of 24 group sessions per month, each lasting one hour, which stimulates different areas of development. It includes speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychology sessions.

INTENSIVE IAR

A program consisting of 32 monthly sessions aimed at children and young people with greater support needs. Participation in this program is only possible when the Comprehensive Assessment team deems it appropriate or when, after a period in the IAR program, it is determined that more therapeutic time is needed. Participation in this more intensive program must be approved for each child or young person by their EPS.
 
For both IAR and intensive IAR, the following areas are included: 

Speech therapy:

It promotes the development of basic learning skills (attention, imitation, instructional follow-up, motivation, memory), as well as skills in different aspects of communication: speech, semantics, syntax, pragmatics, reading and writing, and logical-mathematical thinking.

Occupational Therapy:

It stimulates the development of independence and autonomy skills, sensory and proprioceptive processing and integration, motor planning, fine motor skills, and manual praxis.

Psychology:

It addresses social, emotional, and sexual development, self-awareness skills, and promotes appropriate behaviors from a positive discipline approach.
