Using developmental and play-based strategies to help children learn and grow

Our personalized intervention plans prioritize whole-child care to meet the unique needs of children and their families, including the most complex cases. We help children improve communication, social skills and play skills, and strive to help even the most profoundly impacted children in their growth and development.

Our services

Our intensive intervention sessions include a combination of:

• Teaching skills in simple and structured ways.
• Building teachable moments into everyday activities and within play.
• Addressing barriers to learning.
• Coaching parents on how to engage in skill building with their child.

These proven methods are individualized based on each family’s personal goals.

The role of parents in our program

We incorporate parent involvement into every facet of our intervention programs. Parents know their child best, and we build on that relationship while supporting their role in the treatment process. This system helps caregivers feel empowered to transfer these new skills into daily life.

The difference of one-to-one care

Our experienced clinicians believe one-to-one care is most effective for children with profound communication challenges. Our intervention team consists of highly trained direct therapists (i.e., registered behavior technicians) and board-certified behavior analysts at the master’s and doctoral level.
