Evaluation

Children with disabilities are evaluated or assessed by an ICP team. Team members may include an educational diagnostician, speech and language pathologist, occupational therapist, clinical psychologist, and (on a limited basis), neuropsychologist. These professionals determine the child’s special needs and level of development in all areas. They provide a complete written report to the family and to the referring agency.

Workshops and presentations that teach parents how to help their child are available for families. Topics include; how a child grows and develops, how to help a child learn, and what to expect in a child’s behavior.

Training

Training for professionals and paraprofessionals can be arranged. Areas of interest may include: cognitive and sensorimotor development, creating learning environments, enhancing child development, behavioral development, and other related topics. Training is adapted to participants’ identified needs.

ICP collaborates with families and paraprofessionals to develop programs for home or school, and for early intervention strategies. This service is provided upon request.

ICP helps develop collaborative agreements, proposals, and in-house training. ICP Services are by referral only. Children may be referred by parents or representative agencies. To refer a child to the program, complete an ICP referral form. Services are provided at no cost to families or agencies. Supplemental Services are offered when the responsible agency lacks the necessary resources to provide needed services.
