Westchester Center for Educational & Emotional Development

One of the very special features of CEED is our trans-disciplinary approach. Our educators and therapists have daily access to each other. We change programs as needed, and do not necessarily need to wait a month for a meeting. Our providers are intimately aware of each others goals and objectives. We support each others goals in everything we do. Here’s an example. Johnny requires many services, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Special Education, occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy. The occupational therapist is working on sitting in a chair for circle time. She has noticed that when she sits him on a ball during circle, he is more focused and interested. All the other disciplines will now try the child on the ball during their treatment time to insure that they can get the same results. Then it is shared with the family as a technique that can be utilized at home. Our ability to communicate and support each other on a second’s notice is a very important feature in our model. CEED gets wonderful results, and we believe this is one of the reasons why.
