S.T.E.P INCLUSION PROGRAMME
Our SPECIAL TRANSITION EDUCATION PROGRAMME is a customised curriculum, formed by TTIP, that helps integrate children with disorders and developmental delays into a supportive mainstream classroom setting gradually. Early intervention + Inclusion are the surest way to help children who sign up with our S.T.E.P programme.
At TTIP, we strongly believe that every infant or child has a right to education and we believe that a support system to assist non-typically developing children is a compulsory element in every kindergarten and school.
With the help of highly qualified and amazingly dedicated therapists, an individualised educational plan (IEP) is created for each child. Therapy includes communication therapy, Oral Muscle Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Functional Routine and a host of other ideal interventions that are specifically designed for the needs of each student.
With the assistance of special educator and shadow aides, the ultimate aim is to integrate every child that comes into the S.T.E.P Integrated program into mainstream classroom setting with typically developing preschool children.
We have had a 100% success rate in this program, with all our preschool children having been accepted into primary schools.
S.T.E.P (s)
- First Step - Evaluation of the child.
- Second Step - Assignment of a Therapist. The therapist will work with the child during the early intervention and the inclusion phase. The initial ratio is 1:1 (one therapist for one student) then it will become a 1: 2 ratio (one therapist for two students) to achieve a full student independence in the mainstream classroom.
- Third Step - IEP Individualised Education Plan construction to lay out exactly how the school plans to help and support your child improvement and how to improve and build new skills.
- Fourth Step - Follow up with parents on the IEP Plan.

The Role of Parents and Teachers
A Teacher-parent collaboration is essential! Teachers and parents need to collaborate, undertake joint efforts and share information to provide efficient and meaningful education to students. Working together is critical to identify which areas of student development need attention and jointly determine appropriate goals and milestones to be achieved. Effective communication between teachers and parents happens when both parties are honest and supportive of each other’s responsibilities and roles
