    • We encourage in-person/video conferences for progress reviews and planning, aiming to simplify healthcare engagement and clarify childhood development complexities.

    • Caregiver participation in sessions is highly encouraged!

  2. Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital!

    • We ensure seamless accountability and communication by bringing together therapists with your child's medical, academic, and specialist teams. The outcome? Customized treatment plans that balance challenge and applicability, fostering skill transfer into your child’s daily life
