| Our mission is to help
children with autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, hypotonia,
genetic disorders, post-stroke (CVA), traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy and
other neuromuscular disorders achieve greater independence. Our intensive therapy
programs are designed by highly trained therapists to fit the needs of each
individual child. |

Intensive therapy can accelerate progress in children's sensory processing and
motor skills through strength, flexibility, increased endurance , balance,
coordination, vestibular and enhanced functional skill training. Many children
acquire skills like rolling, crawling, sitting, standing, and/or walking, as well
as improved sensory modulation and focus, which they may not have been able to achieve
with other forms of therapy.
