Parents are encouraged to attend and be involved in the intensive, as well as a follow-up Zoom session with the OT to discuss observations and recommendations for carryover of important skills and capacities in the home setting. Neal Drew will offer OT intensives on a periodic basis through the spring and summer, to provide multiple opportunities to enhance and deepen the important therapeutic work in the sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1547235408101-E98BRTQD3LEK28RYU3T3/fullsizeoutput_1f2.jpeg Therapeutic Services - Individual Sessions Individual work between a child and therapist offers the deepest level of attention and support, particularly around the foundational stages of development such as joint attention, co-regulation, and reciprocal communication. Thus, it elicits a strong therapeutic relationship between child and clinician as they work toward their discipline-specific goals. Since we hold true to the idea that development unfolds within meaningful relationships we strive to provide our services, as much as possible, in collaboration with the meaningful adults in the child’s life. To that end, and depending on the child’s developmental stage, we invite the caregivers to participate in our sessions, where we coach, model, and support the caretaker’s capacity to generalize therapeutic strategies into their daily life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1547235550975-6LP3XX1DNRUOGCE8I0ZY/IMG_0141.jpg Therapeutic Services - Group Sessions Our weekly therapeutic play groups are clinically specialized and tailored, offering a uniquely rich experience. Through a combination of semi-structured activities and open-ended play these groups further expand each child’s foundational developmental skills via increasingly complex social, sensory, motor, cognitive, and affective, experiences. The groups follow a developmental path starting from a Parent-Child group for infants and toddlers; Sensory-Motor, Representational, Symbolic play groups for pre-school, kindergarten, and primary grades; Board-Games and Dungeons & Dragons group for older kids and teens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1547235489658-F9HIX77TKOD71VVA0XWC/IMG_4464.JPG Therapeutic Services - Peer-Dyadic Sessions As an extension to the individual and/or parent-child sessions, we strive to find a “match” between 2 children who are working towards common developmental goals. These peer-dyadic sessions offer the children opportunities to expand their developmental capacities in a gradual and modulated way, and often serve as a healthy stepping board to a bigger group intervention. https://intune-d-t.com/typesoftherapy daily 0.75 2024-10-15 https://intune-d-t.com/school-support daily 0.75 2020-08-11 https://intune-d-t.com/role-playing-group daily 0.75 2023-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1597117524495-60AOPXYZ6RTX2DJM4P3B/Quest.jpg Role Playing Group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/556567d0-2c12-4e13-a294-da3caff5acd7/Critical+Core.jpg Role Playing Group - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://intune-d-t.com/overview daily 0.75 2023-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1597112382692-B26NWOKAU7T1OSSIAY8N/IMG_5378.jpeg Overview - Board Game Group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1597112395159-02FH8Q0PHFQMWXICPJL7/Story+Group+-+Photo.jpg Overview - Story Group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1679935052493-U2VJKNDUSI0LWYRIJPHU/Critical%2BCore.jpg Overview https://intune-d-t.com/board-game-group daily 0.75 2021-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57865dcde6f2e14182831119/1597114004999-ZGRQUWILTUCVSBBC7KCZ/boardgames.jpg Board Game Group https://intune-d-t.com/resources daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://intune-d-t.com/executivefunctionskills daily 0.75 2024-10-15 https://intune-d-t.com/therapeutic-support-for-fathers daily 0.75 2024-10-15
