Our Services
Early Intervention
Early Intervention Services refer to specialized programs and support provided to infants and toddlers who are at risk of experiencing developmental delays. These services are specifically designed to assess and address the needs of children in eight key developmental areas, ensuring their overall growth and well-being.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy evaluates and addresses difficulties related to speech disorders, language impairments, and communication challenges. This therapeutic intervention aims to enhance individuals’ abilities in various areas, including comprehension, articulation, voice projection, fluency, and sound production.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy utilizes everyday activities, known as occupations, as therapeutic interventions to address physical, mental, developmental, and emotional conditions that hinder an individual’s ability to engage in daily tasks and routines. This therapeutic approach aims to enhance the patient’s overall functional capabilities, enabling them to participate more effectively in their day-to-day activities.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a type of psychotherapy that proves beneficial for children, with the primary objective being to assist those who may face challenges in expressing their emotions or thoughts to communicate and process their experiences through play. By engaging in play, children are provided with a safe and expressive outlet, allowing them to freely explore and communicate their feelings, experiences, and inner world.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that involves the participation of one or more therapists working simultaneously with a small group of individuals. This form of therapy fosters the development of communication and socialization skills among participants. By engaging in group discussions and interactions, individuals have the opportunity to enhance their self-awareness and gain insights by listening to others who share similar concerns or issues.
Special Education
Special education, alternatively known as special needs education, refers to the provision of education for children who demonstrate significant differences, whether social, cognitive, or physical, from the average population to an extent that necessitates adjustments to standard educational practices. These modifications are implemented to ensure that children with special needs receive an inclusive and tailored education that addresses their unique requirements and maximizes their learning potential.
Music Therapy
Music therapy is a specialized form of therapy that is utilized to support individuals with developmental disorders, emotional abuse (both severe and mild), bipolar disorder, and other serious ailments. This therapeutic approach harnesses the power of music to address a range of mental and physical symptoms, including reducing pain, alleviating anxiety, and easing tension. Music therapy offers a unique and expressive medium through which individuals can engage in creative and therapeutic processes, promoting emotional well-being, personal growth, and enhanced quality of life.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy utilizes our knowledge of how behavior functions in practical contexts. The objective is to promote the increase of beneficial behaviors and reduce the occurrence of harmful behaviors or those that impede learning. By applying evidence-based techniques and strategies, ABA therapy focuses on modifying behavior by implementing positive reinforcement, shaping skills, and utilizing behavior management techniques.
Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory integration therapy is employed to assist children in developing the ability to effectively utilize all their senses in unison. This includes touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. It is believed that this therapy can be beneficial in improving challenging behaviors or repetitive patterns of behavior. By engaging in sensory-based activities and interventions, children can enhance their sensory processing skills, promote self-regulation, and potentially reduce difficulties associated with sensory sensitivities or challenges.
