What does the PRSD offer?

PRSD continues to work with Alberta Education to offer inclusive early learning intervention supports for for children 2 years, 8 months to 6 years of age. This collaborative effort results in flexible and responsive programs in schools throughout the division.

Early intervention is available to children who will be three by the end of the current school year and who have been diagnosed by a qualified professional with a severe speech or language, physical, emotional, behavioural, or intellectual delay. Supports for children with a mild or moderate diagnosis become available the following year, when the child will be four before the end of the current school year.  

The inclusive early learning intervention program is designed to help a child with a disability to build knowledge and skills. PRSD follows the guidelines and regulations set out by Alberta Education to enable and promote opportunities for families of three- and four-year-old children to obtain specialized services at a local school.

We are here to support growth and confidence in all children

After a child is enrolled in the early learning intervention program, individual goals for the child are established and developed throughout the year. In PRSD schools, young learners are active partners in education - learning while playing, developing, and gaining skills.

• Peace Collaborative Services staff work for PRSD to offer speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and educational psychology. The school-based and division-level Learning Services Team members collaborate to build capacity for success of all early learning programs. 
• To partner with us and access these services for your child, contact the PRSD Early Learning Coordinator.

We believe that it takes a community to raise a child, and in our schools, we take a team and family approach to teaching and learning. The involvement of, and communication with, our families is very important to the success of a child. In PRSD schools, there are many ways for parents to be involved and for the school and families to interact.
