Working at Learning Links Pre-School

I have the wonderful good fortune to be working three days a week at Learning Links Pre-School. My private therapy sessions will continue on Monday and Fridays (and possibly some Saturdays if I still have the energy) in the Eastern suburbs.

Learning Links is an Australian charity and non-profit organisation formed to help children who have learning disabilities, difficulties and developmental delays. Family support has a huge role to play as well.
They have numerous therapy projects with in the Sydney community. I will be working as part of the Early Childhood Services, which helps children from birth to six years, including children who have a disability or are at risk of a developmental delay. This includes children who have difficulty learning because of a diagnosed disability such as Down Syndrome, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADD or Dyspraxia. Children whose development is delayed due to prematurity, birth trauma, hearing loss or other risk factors are also included. I will be working at their preschool facility which has at least 30% special needs kids. I will be working in the classrooms alongside the teachers to ensure the children consistently learn in their play environment. In this way, I am able to make adjustments to the structure of the class or the activity or game to allow for optimal learning and socialising. A large part of my job will also involve teacher, parent and community training. I hope to bring all my knowledge and techniques from my various therapy disciplines into the work. The school is a model for inclusive education, so there are continuously volunteers and students spending time there, providing a great forum for me to share my knowledge. What a blessing to be part of this team!... This organisation is well known for its high quality of work and community enrichment.. It will be a privilege to work with them!
