In addition to direct work with the child, the intervention includes collaboration with parents and caregivers to promote meaningful progress across everyday routines and environments.
Individual behavior therapy: For children over 5 years old, personalized sessions are offered targeting emotional regulation, social communication, executive functioning, and adaptive skills
Social skills groups: Small-group programs that help children learn to navigate friendships, collaborate with peers, and practice flexible thinking in a supportive environment
Parent coaching and training: Collaborative sessions designed to empower parents with practical tools and strategies that support consistency and connection at home
School consultation and collaboration: Partnership with teachers and school teams to support inclusive learning environments, develop classroom strategies, and promote success across settings
Transition support: Helping children and families prepare for new challenges such as school entry, changes in routines, or increasing independence in daily life
