What is Blue Bird’s Therapeutic Extended Day Program?
Extended Day provides supplemental therapeutic services outside of the regularly scheduled Blue Bird Day program. The individualized schedules are based on therapist recommendations and family schedules. All therapeutic services are available during the Extended Day and treatment can be one-on-one or in a peer orientated environment.
How is the Therapeutic Extended Day Program Incorporated into the Day?
Extended Day services are available Monday through Friday outside of the preschool and kindergarten program hours. Specific hours may vary based off your child’s Blue Bird Day location, therapeutic recommendations, and therapist availability. Therapists can treat in the home or at a Blue Bird Day facility.

What are the Goals of the Therapeutic Extended Day Program?
Extended Day services allow therapists to tailor therapy services to the individual needs and goals of your child. Extended Day services practice the same multi-disciplinary and evidence-based approach as the rest of the Blue Bird Day program. Extended Day aims to provide a more comprehensive program that fosters quicker and better results.
