What is intensive therapy?
​​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.

"Words cannot express how much greatness comes from this clinic. Everyone there is incredible. We traveled over 600 miles out of state to continue to do our intensive therapies for our toddler. That last sentence alone should tell you that it's worth the drive. When our intensive is done, it is always a bitter sweet goodbye. We don't ever want to leave. The knowledge and help that we have received, has helped guide us in a direction that we have been needing to understand and grow. We have a better understanding of our daughters disability. We were showed exercises that we can take home and practice. We see changes in our daughter immediately when we get home. Two weeks after we got back home, our daughter started to rollover on her own for the very first time. This was incredible. Please keep in mind she was 2.5 years old. Her therapist got her stronger. Our overall experience was great! We cannot wait for our third round of intensive therapy."
