Intervention

We develop an individualized treatment plan that will incorporate the most appropriate therapy approach and techniques for the child. We educate families on the techniques that are used during each session and then provide ideas for carryover into daily activities. Goals are often reached by using play-based, child-centered, family-friendly approaches.
