It must first be said that client evaluation assumes an environment based on gentleness, genuineness, and confidence. Creative leadership skills and self-confidence must be key elements.
The starting point for the creation of the individualized curriculum is derived from the client profile that indicates their interests, talents, and abilities, and emphasizes a guided self-discovery approach.
Client Profiles are created from the following:
|

-
Academic – written, oral and visual assessments
-
Learning style identification
-
Social skills
-
Physical fitness
-
Performing arts – optional
-
Portfolio development
