School readiness or preparation focuses on equipping children with the skills they need to succeed in a classroom environment. This includes building foundational abilities such as following instructions, communication, socializing with peers, and managing emotions. For children with developmental delays or behavioural challenges, school readiness may also involve addressing specific concerns like transitioning between activities, following instructions, or participating in group settings.

Specialists work with families to assess the child’s current skills and identify areas for improvement. They may recommend individualized strategies, training sessions, or structured routines to help the child adapt to the demands of a school setting.

The goal of school readiness is to ensure that children feel confident, supported, and prepared, setting the stage for positive learning experiences and future success.
