The Intensive Pediatric Therapy or Intensive Suit Therapy is a 3-week advanced strength training program that provides individualized targeted body functioning development. This results-driven method often leads to successful goal attainment faster than traditional therapy received over an entire year. During this period, your child will work with one therapist for consistency of care. After the child receives this specialized therapy, the family is provided a home program that stipulates new therapeutic goals, follow-up treatment, and coordination notes for their traditional therapists. Ability Plus Therapy was the second clinic in the country to offer this service.
