Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems. OT can help them regain independence in all areas of their lives.

Occupational therapists help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs. To do this, they use everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies.

OT helps kids play, improves their school performance, and aids their daily activities. It also boosts their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.

Speech Therapy

A speech disorder refers to a problem with making sounds. Speech disorders include:

• Articulation disorders:

  These are problems with making sounds in syllables, or saying words incorrectly to the point that listeners can't understand what's being said.

• Fluency disorders:

  These include problems such as stuttering, in which the flow of speech is interrupted by unusual stops, partial-word repetitions ("b-b-boy"), or prolonging sounds and syllables (sssssnake).

• Resonance or voice disorders:

  These are problems with the pitch, volume, or quality of the voice that distract listeners from what's being said. These types of disorders may also cause pain or discomfort for a child when speaking.

ABA Therapy

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for children, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), uses learning principles to teach crucial life skills, improve communication, and reduce challenging behaviors, focusing on positive reinforcement to build social, daily living, and academic abilities in personalized, evidence-based ways. It's highly effective when started early (18 months-5 years) to build strong foundations, involving breaking skills into small steps and rewarding successful attempts to foster independence and real-world application.

Benefits of Early & Consistent Application

• Starting young helps prevent difficult behaviors from becoming habits.
• Training parents ensures skills learned in therapy are used at home, leading to better outcomes.
• Data shows significant progress, with many children reducing their need for intensive services later on.

Brain Therapy

Brain therapy for children involves various approaches, from natural methods like exercise, games, and mindfulness to clinical interventions like Neurofeedback, CBT, Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation (TNS), and specialized brain stimulation/cooling for severe conditions, all aiming to improve cognition, emotion, focus, and behavior by training brain activity or treating underlying issues like ADHD, anxiety, or injury, emphasizing interactive environments and personalized care.

Who Benefits?

• Children with ADHD, learning disorders, language issues, executive function problems, anxiety, depression, or emotional challenges.
• Children recovering from brain injuries or dealing with neurological conditions.

Special Education

Special education refers to the tailored educational approach for children with disabilities or other learning difficulties, such as physical, intellectual, emotional, or behavioral challenges. This customized education uses personalized teaching methods and support services to help these students succeed academically and socially, often through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The goal is to provide equal opportunities and help each child reach their full potential.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy with children, or pediatric physiotherapy, helps kids from infancy to adolescence build strength, coordination, balance, and mobility for developmental or injury-related issues, using play-based, engaging techniques to manage conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, or sports injuries, focusing on fun activities to improve function, independence, and overall quality of life.

How it works

• Play-Based Therapy: Uses fun games, activities, and exercises to keep children motivated.
• Hands-On Techniques: Includes stretching, strengthening, movement training, and motor learning.
• Goal-Oriented: Programs are personalized to help children achieve specific goals, set with the family.
