Occupational Therapy Intensives

A therapy intensive may be suggested / requested for your child in order to maximize the effects of treatment. In a treatment intensive the frequency, intensity, and duration of therapy are increased over a relatively short period of time. Typically, a child is seen for 1 1/2-2 hours a day for 3-4 days a week for either a 1 or 2 week period.

Sibling Group

Siblings of children with developmental disabilities have experiences like none other. The joys and challenges that face them are greatly numbered and varied. Siblings often need to learn to cope with a wide range of issues, including relating to their sibling, friendships, and change over time. Siblings often struggle with feelings of embarrassment and shame and fear what their friends will say about their sibling, their family, and even themselves. Siblings frequently need to learn how to cope with the challenging behaviors and resource limitations that accompany having a sibling with a developmental disability.
