The Child’s Play Specialized Therapy Perspective:

At Child’s Play we try and maximize each therapy session and intensely target different areas to specifically reinforce, rather than doing blanket treatment for years at a time.  Clinical treatment embodies a combination of direct treatment, consultation, monitoring, and parent training and involvement.  Client care is re-assessed every 2-3 months and additional visits outlined for any weakness areas that continue to require specialty assistance to resolve.

 

We have found that children progress tremendously when a team approach is used to address therapeutic needs.  That team includes the child, the parents, private therapist (as a guide and specialty provider), school team, and other private professionals or therapists.  This type of inclusive team approach is what yields the best and quickest results for children.

 

Our goal is always to reserve ongoing, weekly private therapy only for those children with intense and specific needs.  The aim is to graduate children from specialty private therapy as soon as possible, when their needs can be appropriately addressed by the remaining people on their team or within naturally occurring age level activities. 

 

This is a therapeutic approach that we are proud to provide, is the most appropriate use of private therapy and that we feel yields the best overall results for children.  Streamlining care keeps parents and therapist honed in their thinking.  It is a very innovative approach, yet different from many therapy facilities.  Any recommendations provided are designed so that they can be taken advantage of as a therapy compliment, if you already have an OT on your team, you reside out of state/country, or if you are not an ongoing client of Child’s Play.  This approach allows all children the same access to the specialized therapy protocols and programs we offer.
