How I Can Help
DIR:
Floortime Approach
Using this Developmental, Individualized, Relationship-based model, you will have a better understanding of your child’s behaviour and discover new ways to support them in their unique developmental pathways.
Sensory Integration
Therapy
Behaviour and movement are driven by the sensations we perceive in our environment. When your child can process and integrate sensory input in a better way, they can feel more regulated, alert, and more confident in who they are. Their balance and coordination will improve as well.
Safe and Sound
Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to help your child regulate their nervous system, reduce their sensitivities, improve their auditory processing, and facilitate their social engagement.
