In School Consultations

We understand that most children perform differently in a one-on-one therapy session than they do in a classroom setting. Theraplay can help bridge the gap between skill achievement during therapy sessions and school success. Therapists will visit your child’s school, observe classroom behaviors, collaborate and communicate with teachers, and suggest easy to apply solutions.

These consultations are helpful for children with difficulty:

Engaging with Classmates
Sitting Still in the Classroom
Becoming Easily Frustrated
Following Classroom Directions
Attending to Teacher Directed Activities

Preschool Alternative Program

Through the use of movement, creative arts, and sensory motor experiences children will develop age appropriate gross motor, fine motor, language, and sensory integration skills. We are striving for children to meet their age appropriate milestones and prepare them for pre-kindergarten and beyond. The program places a special emphasis on social skills and peer interactions.
