A Specialised, Therapeutic Alternative for Neurodivergent Young Minds

What is a School Readiness Program?

A School Readiness Program is designed to help young children — especially those with ADHD, ASD, and other neurodivergences — develop the foundational skills required for future integration into school environments.

Many neurodivergent children face unique challenges like:

  • Severe tactile defensiveness (discomfort with touch, textures, certain movements)
  • Sensory processing difficulties (becoming overwhelmed by sounds, lights, crowds)
  • Attention, behaviour, and social interaction issues
  • Delayed communication, adaptive, and play skills

Traditional schools often refuse admission or inadequately support these children. Forcing them into unsuitable setups can result in anxiety, regression, and emotional harm.
This program bridges that readiness gap through early, intensive, and individualised therapeutic and educational intervention.

What Makes Our Program Different?

At Holding Hope Centre for Speech & Hearing, we’ve designed a premium, niche program that serves as a curated, full-time substitute for mainstream schooling — not just a preparation tool. This is an intensive, individualised intervention plan for children who are not currently suited for regular school environments.
✔️ Key Differentiators:
  • Full-time therapeutic care, replacing conventional school hours
  • Highly personalised, one-on-one plans curated by experts
  • A multidisciplinary, sensory-friendly setup with specialised educators and therapists
  • Integration of therapy + structured special education + creative learning
  • A clear pathway to transition into mainstream or inclusive schools, once the child is ready
  • Active Parental involvement as a core pillar of success

This is not a daycare or pre-school model, but a therapeutic-educational hybrid for children .

💡 Why Choose This Over Traditional Schooling?

  • Schools either refuse admission or offer segregated, inadequate support
  • The sensory, social, and structural demands of schools overwhelm them
  • Early therapeutic and educational needs go unmet during the critical developmental window
