At Determined Stars Learning and Therapy Centre we believe every child is unique and so are their abilities. We provide support according to their level and capabilities. Tailored appropriately to their needs we provide different types of support.
The Day Program is a specialised program developed by Determined Stars Learning and Therapy Centre. This includes Academics and Therapy sessions according to the child’s need. DSC day programs are conducted in small groups. The programmes focus on age-appropriate academic, Language acquisition and communication, social & functional skills. The curriculum is tailored to each child’s individual needs, whilst the aim is to make our students ready for mainstream learning programmes. Hence it adopts curriculum needs from international standards.
A typical Day Programme will consist of small groups of 5 – 6 students to ensure each child’s need is met. Individualised Education Plan will be curated to incorporate targets set from the multi- disciplinary professionals and work with the child to ensure all the areas of child’s need is met.
Each group consists of one teacher/Therapist and one assistant teacher (i.e. at ratio 1:2.5)

We extend our support of therapists to schools where the child is admitted.
Children with learning or thinking differences may have challenges in certain basic prerequisite skills to read, write, reason, logical thinking, conceptual understanding etc. Difficulties in these pre-requisite skills may affect their ability to cope with more complex academic skills in schools. As early as you intervene, the sooner the success builds skills to cope up.
A traditional tutor may not understand your child’s learning or thinking differences to be able to employ the right teaching methods. An academic therapist can bridge this gap by employing the right methods and setting children up for academic success.
