Developmental Therapy is a dicipline that specifically looks at HOW a child is developing during the most significant period of development- birth through 3 years.
Development therapists do not address one specific area but instead look at a child GLOBALLY.

How can it help my child? We will work with you and your child to offer activities and helpful information tailored to the individual needs of each child and family. The Developmental therapist will assess a child’s global development & identify specific areas of need and areas of strength. The therapist will then develop play activities designed to help your child overcome their challenges and improve the quality of their interactions in order to help them gain confidence in their ability to learn and to acquire typical skills. We try to provide children with this type of therapy in their natural enviroment, often using their own toys and tools within that enviroment to improve their ability to navigate their way with sense of wonder and enjoyment.
Children’s Therapy TEAM offers evaluations, consultations, and developmental therapy. Direct play-based intervention & parent/caregiver education are provided.
