What Makes Us Unique
Our undoubtedly unique treatment approach.
one
We strongly believe in child-centered therapy where our therapists follow child’s lead during to each therapy session. Child Centered Therapy fosters the child’s innate potential, encouraging the unique development and inner growth of the child.
two
We empower parents, we educate parents and we encourage the parents to participate in all or most of the sessions so they can see in real time what we are doing.
three
The foundation of our model is based on sensory integration and arousal regulation interwoven with a strong focus on engagement and relationships.
four
We focus on the play to make change happen. Play is the child’s natural language and the toys can be used like words .
five
We highly recommend and use an intensive treatment model in our clinical practice whenever it’s possible, where we see the kids for 30 mins twice a week or more. Recent research definitively shows that frequent repetition of therapeutic activities is needed to make long lasting brain and behavioural changes.
six
Our treatment goals are based on your priorities for your kid. We then work together to narrow down measurable goals. . Our model includes before and after treatment evaluations so that your child’s progress is measured.
seven
Our therapists love kids. However, the gage of a truly advanced therapist is their ability to turn over “Magic Moments” with the child to you. Those amazing moments of joy when your child has just accomplished the impossible belong to, and are given back to you.
eight
We have both a “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach. This includes both the neurological foundations of function (such as sensory processing) and functional abilities (like playing with friends) and quality of life factors (such as having a peaceful home life).
nine
And last but not least, We strongly believe in helping kids to reach their full potential.
