Children respond best to individualized, motivating, and evidence-based treatment. With that holding true for each child served, it will mean that no two treatment applications or sessions will look identical to one another. Intentional and ever-evolving treatment is the key to a lasting impact on function and independence.
Each treatment session will encompass these values while focusing on improving performance in all areas of occupation. Every child is unique with their own histories, beliefs, interests, values, and personalities. By utilizing these distinct characteristics to customize plans of care, occupational performance and engagement in life can be optimized. Our goal is to use the most up to date evidence to curate effective treatments in order to support independence, engagement, and function in each child's everyday life.
