Brighter Futures Private School is happy to provide Early Intervention services for children who require them. These services are directly immersed, and in conjunction with our preschool and junior kindergarten classes, in an inclusive setting program. Children that are accessing early intervention services will be part of the regular programming and also receive pull out services for individual therapy and small group work (as required based on the needs of the child).
These services are fully funded through Alberta Education. Alberta Education offers different types of funding depending on the needs of the child. These include: Mild/Moderate (M/M) funding for children with either mild or moderate delays in development; Program Unit Funding (PUF) for children whose needs are more significant/severe/medical, and English Language Learner (ELL) funding for children who are new to learning English. Parents do not have to apply for funding, school authorities will access this funding on family’s behalf.
The PUF Program Coordinator (Certified Teacher) develops the child’s program, including their Individual Program Plan (IPP), with the child’s Early Intervention team (classroom teachers, therapists, and parents).
