ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a form of therapy that helps children with autism spectrum disorders, ages 2-12 years old. ABA therapy uses a one-on-one teaching approach to help children through reinforcement of desired behaviors.
Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills needed for daily living. OT can help with sensory integration, fine motor/visual skills, social skills, play, feeding and self-care.
Speech is a crucial tool in aiding your child’s development and learning. Speech therapy helps to treat disorders of speech, language, communication, swallowing/feeding and more. Our therapists create individualized plans of treatment to help your child function more independently and improve their quality of life.
Physical therapists are movement experts who optimize quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education. Physical therapists teach patients and families how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits.
Counseling is talk therapy between the patient and a licensed counselor. Counselors help kids and parents cope with the day to day challenges of life and create solutions together so that the patient can live life to the fullest.
