Then, special education specialist, clinical psychologist, and speech & language therapist starts working with the child via a firm coordination with the child’s family. For instance, special education specialist conducts supportive activities for fine motor development during the therapy sessions and assigns follow-up activities for the family to work with the child in her/his real environment. Similarly, families are informed about all areas of deficiency targeted during therapy sessions and are guided about how to administer relevant follow-up exercises at home or school. At the end of each session, families are briefed about their children’s development, their questions are answered, and wishes and desires are met.
