PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to our website! As you browse through the different pages, you will get a feel for what MILESTONE is all about: quality, caring, and professionalism. You will learn about the value we place on an outstanding education in the early years, making sure we teach the whole child.
Although we have tried our best to capture the spirit of MILESTONE on our media page, it is almost impossible to portray in pictures all the fun we have here at MILESTONE.
At MILESTONE we are very proud and excited about our monthly events which celebrate the learning that is constantly going on. These events reflect the themes we teach and put this learning into context.
We place high value on parent/school communication and have established a variety of channels to do so in order to keep informed about our common goal: to raise a well-rounded, happy child who can reach his/her top potential. With this, I leave you, dear Visitor, to peruse our pages. Enjoy!
Ms. Linda Baki

PHYCHOMOTOR THERAPY
Psychomotor therapy is a learning progress that involves science of movement, pedagogy, psychology, health and natural science.
It's a holistic approach that raises consciousness of body and mind.
It strengthens personal abilities through connecting between the body and the emotional, cognitive and social competences.
In Milestone, students with special needs are having delay in different developmental skills: motor, emotional, cognitive and social. After assessing the child's potentials and needs, the psychomotor therapist will first work on raising the child's awareness of his own body and functions through sensory and motor activities. In parallel he will be building a positive relationship of trust with the child by responding to his needs and creating a space where he can express himself. The student then, will be aware of his own potentials and of the presence and expectations of the other person. He will be ready then to build new skills and to learn how to use objects within his environment. Psychomotor therapy uses concrete object, that interest the child so that he will have a mind set to learn a new concept or skill ... whether it was on motor, social ,emotional or perceptual level.
All this will prepare and constitute a strong base for the child to have readiness for a better learning and building abilities.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy focuses on the science of movement and helps people to restore, maintain, and maximize their physical strength,function,motion, and overall well being. The Physiotherapists in milestone assess the physical state and design a special program to suit each child's need. The program involves manual intervention, physical exercises, muscle strengthening, balance and co-ordination activities. Also they are responsible for positioning, ergonomics, safety and risk regulations/adjustments in classes and living environment. The main aim of a physiotherapist is to encourage the child to reach their full potential and facilitate recovery enabling children to be functional and independent in activities of daily living.

SPEECH THERAPY
Speech therapy is a treatment for speech and language disorders. A speech disorder involves a problem producing words and sounds, whereas a language disorder refers to a difficulty understanding words and putting together sentences and ideas for communication. Speech therapy helps individuals gain the ability to communicate through speech and language.
Speech therapists might use repetitive exercises and training as well as assistive devices for communication to assist with what is speech therapy. Called augmentive and assistive communication, or AAC, these devices produce speech or sound for those who are nonverbal.
