PEAK Relational Training System @ IBI Behavioural Services

PEAK stands for Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge and involves teaching skills in a way that helps learners generalise and learn skills that they haven’t been taught as a result more easily. It is a curriculum that enables individuals to gain skills for free (without teaching) because of the way in which the teaching is mixed and combined, enabling learners to start using their own taught skills and strategies in order to learn new skills. It’s is really the true definition of teaching ‘learn to learn’ skills and it helps with promoting independence. PEAK is suitable for children aged 2 years up to 17 years of age. PEAK offers a range of programmes that cater for language acquisition needs and cover aspects of language that include, Foundational learning skills (e.g. requests for what one wants, imitation, listening to instructions) Perceptual learning skills (e.g. identifying and matching objects) Verbal comprehension skills (e.g. answering questions) Verbal reasoning (e.g. when told a situation, how the student would respond), Memory (this includes pre-requisites for remembering past events) and Maths skills (e.g. working with quantity, numbers and money).
