How the program works
Goals are set after an assessment. The program is run either in group or individually, depending
on the similarities of the goals current clients have. A group session is formed when there are compatible goals, otherwise the program is delivered on one to one basis. Because every individual person learns at their own pace, progress is quantified and measured to determine goals are being achieved. The modality of the intervention can be in person one on one or virtual, group session.
