Evaluation
Individual comprehensive assessments are provided based
on each child's needs. The child is evaluated using standardized
assessments, clinical observations as well as interviews with
caregivers and other professionals. The information is used to
identify the child's strengths and weaknesses, as well as to determine
the need for therapeutic intervention and to develop a treatment
plan.
Treatment
Therapy is based on the philosophy that children learn
best by being actively involved in treatment. Therapists create
the "just-right" challenge using purposeful, fun and
goal- directed activities designed to facilitate the child's growth
and development.
Family Education and Training
Family members and caregivers are encouraged to be actively involved
in treatment planning, goal setting, and direct therapy.
Therapists work with the family and care-givers to develop ways
of incorporating treatment strategies into daily routines in the
home or at school.
Consultation
In order to insure an integrated treatment plan, therapists
provide consultation to caregivers as well as coordinate and consult
with other therapists, teachers, physicians and psychologists.
