Our Intensive Programs are customized to meet the needs of each child. This may include a combination of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy. Treatment varies in time, duration, intensity, and tools used. Typically our program will be 2-3 weeks in duration, 5 days per week.
The Intensive Model of Treatment is best known for it’s incredible benefits and outstanding results. Many children gain more progress towards their goals in one intensive therapy session than they do in a whole 12 months of ongoing traditional therapy. Research shows that consistent and persistent work toward goals is the most productive toward building strength and endurance. This is not to say working at home on a daily program is not also effective. However, working with a therapist daily on a thorough exercise program is a very effective means of reaching goals. Intensive therapy is not for every child, but our team will help decide if this would be beneficial for your child. Once an intensive session is complete, it is advised that the child follow care team recommendations to work at a continued traditional therapy frequency with home activity plans. Further recommendations for future intensive sessions will also be made at that time. The current recommendation for Intensive therapy is to complete 3-4 per calendar year, based on muscle strength and growth. Week 3 has also been shown to be most beneficial in a care plan.
