Intensive Therapy
What is intensive therapy?
Children with various neurological and genetic conditions require a high level of repetition of specific movements to promote new skills, which intensive therapy allows.
​
Intensive therapy is a combination of occupational, physical, speech, and feeding therapy for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks in a row.
Children receive individualized treatment based on a comprehensive evaluation with input from the child and family regarding specific goals. A skilled and knowledgeable team of therapists work together to create a one of a kind treatment plan based on the child's strengths and interests in order to help them achieve their goals. Families will also be provided with training and a comprehensive home program with pictures to continue progress at home following the intensive.
​
Children will receive1-1.5 hours of Physical and Occupational Therapy and 30 minutes of Speech Therapy each day.

"What Lola accomplished and gained [in intensives] were skills we were told she may never gain. They were skills that have given Lola freedom, accessibility, independence, confidence, a voice, and foundations on which more skills are built."
