Our beautiful Sensory-Integration gym and sensory rich materials are specifically used and designed to improve the sensory, motor and social skills of each child. The use of music, group games and gross motor activities such as obstacle courses and swinging are built into our program to improve skill as well as to aid in self regulation. We build on the different learning styles and strengths of your child, leading to self confidence and improved developmental skills. We specifically attempt to integrate parent requested areas of focus as well as IEP/504 goals within our program. Our staff is highly experienced in handling children with behavioral issues, but your child must be able to safely participate and behavior cannot limit other children’s participation.
