Therapy
Therapy services include the evaluation of skills, the development of treatment plans, and the delivery of therapy, if specified. Therapists work as members of a team, which includes parents, classroom staff, and other therapy and/or medical disciplines. For students enrolled in our school program, therapies are integrated into the student’s school day. The emphasis of our therapy programs is on facilitating the child’s participation in family, school, and community life.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy
ABA therapy plans, develops, and monitors a variety of behavioral support service delivery options to meet the needs of clients diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and/or other behavioral and social/communication challenges.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy assists children in their fine motor and self-care skills, i.e. school-related activities and dressing and/or feeding skills, and also helps children organize and regulate their sensory systems.
Physical Therapy (PT)
Physical therapy assists children in their gross motor development, i.e. postures in sitting, standing, mobility, and recreational skills.
Speech Therapy (ST)
Speech therapy addresses language, articulation, voice, and fluency through auditory training and alternative communication modes and also may assist children in the development of feeding skills.
Feeding Therapy
Based on and grounded philosophically in the “normal” developmental steps, stages and skills of feeding found in typically developing children, the SOS Approach focuses on increasing a child’s comfort level by exploring and learning about the different properties of food. The program allows a child to interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way, beginning with the ability to tolerate the food in the room and in front of him/her, then moving on to managing the smell of the foods, learning about how foods feel on the body and in their mouth, and then enjoying tasting and eating new foods following the Steps to Eating.
