Educational Services

 

Who We Are:   Niagara Children Education and Treatment Center (NCETC) is a New York State Educational Department educational center within the larger organization; Niagara Cerebral Palsy. NCETC is especially for children ages birth through five who have speech and language delays and/or other learning or physical disabilities. Preschool aged children without disabilities can attend for a small monthly fee.

 

What We Do:   Our licensed and certified staff provide evaluations, preschool classes, and therapy services to facilitate a successful pathway towards your child's kindergarten year.

 

EVALUATIONS can help to answer your questions about your child's development such as:

• Should my child be walking by now?
• Should I be able to understand what my child is saying to me?
• How many words should my child know?
• When should my child learn to share with other children?

  

An evaluation at Niagara Children Education and Treatment Center will summarize your child's current developmental status in areas of speech, hearing, learning, social and emotional development, and motor skill development. Our professional and experienced staff will meet with you and your child in the setting where you believe your child will feel most comfortable and secure. You will be part of the discussion with the professional staff following the evaluation and outlining your child's strengths and needs.

Evaluations are typically provided at no cost to families.
