Customized Student Support:
The Rooted Child recognizes that every school is unique, with its own culture, values, and student needs. That's why we offer adaptable services to meet the specific demands of each setting.
Ultimately, our goal is to help students not only thrive in their unique learning environments but also to build confidence and skills that will serve them in the broader school community.
Individual Student Scaffolding Supports
We provide personalized scaffolding for individual students, focusing on helping them build their specific developmental and social skills. Whether a student needs support in building foundational skills or requires more advanced guidance to reach their potential, we tailor our approach to their specific learning style and pace.
Identifying and Supporting Small Group Needs
In addition to individual scaffolding, we assess and address the needs of small groups of students. This involves identifying common areas where students may need additional support, whether developmental, social, or behavioral. We work with educators to create targeted interventions that ensure these students get the tools they need to succeed.
Generalizing Skills to Larger Group Settings
Once students have made progress in individual or small group settings, we focus on helping them generalize those skills to larger group contexts. We collaborate with school staff to ensure that the skills learned in more focused settings are transferable to whole-class environments, supporting students' integration and success in diverse classroom dynamics.
Staff Training
Recognizing and addressing the unique needs of each student is key to providing the right support for their success. We offer staff trainings that focus on understanding the developmental stages of students, enabling teachers to tailor their approach and scaffolding strategies. With this deeper understanding, staff can better support students, leading to fewer behavioral disruptions and fostering a more positive, harmonious learning environment for everyone.
As a pediatric speech therapist, I've had the privilege of collaborating with many child development experts over the years, and I can say without reservation that Stephanie is truly exceptional. She possesses a rare combination of deep knowledge, genuine compassion, and an uncanny ability to connect with children and families.
I've been consistently impressed by Stephanie's comprehensive understanding of child development across domains; specifically, cognitive, social, and emotional. She always looks and thinks "whole child" and integrates all aspects of development into her assessments and recommendations.
Stephanie is an excellent problem-solver and facilitator for the children and families she works with. She is able to explain complex developmental concepts in a clear, concise, and empathetic manner. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to any family seeking expert guidance on their child's development!
