What is a Therapy Intensive?
Therapy Intensives group children together based on age, diagnosis, current capability, and developmental need. Dedicated therapists work with the group and with each individual child toward their specific goals. These therapists specialize in Physical, Occupational, Speech, Music, Art, and Behavior and work together to maximize the growth of each child.

This collaborative team will continue to work together to track progress over the long term for the therapy child and their family.
