THERAPEUTIC Services
In-Tune provides comprehensive treatment through a trans-disciplinary team. Whether your child receives one or multiple hours of therapy per week, our clinicians are in daily collaboration and consultation with one another toward treatment goals for your child, so that your family receives the absolute best quality of care. Each therapeutic program also includes periodic team meetings with parents/caregivers and therapists in order to maintain optimum treatment for your child.
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.
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.
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.
Parent Coaching
Our clinic offers virtual or in-person parent coaching in each therapeutic domain - occupational therapy, speech therapy, and mental health therapy.
Additionally, one of our speech therapists is certified to provide the following parent-focused program:
PACT (Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy) is an evidence-based parent training program originally developed at the University of Manchester, designed for parents of young children with Autism. Parents and the therapist review together the parent-child play using video playback. The goal is to support parents in identifying and implementing strategies that expand their child’s communication development through play and natural interactions.
PACT is suitable for children aged 2-10 years experiencing social communication challenges. PACT has been found to be beneficial for children across a range of communication levels, including those children who have not yet developed verbal language.
