Developmental Therapy

We provide services in the home, childcare center or other natural environments such as the park or playground.

All of our Developmental Therapy services are provided within the child’s natural environment as part of each family’s daily routines and activities.  Natural environments are settings that are natural or normal for the child’s age peers who have no disabilities.  When services take place in the natural environment, children learn in places where they can generalize information easily.  We provide services in the home, childcare center or other natural environments such as the park or playground.
