At Therapyland, we believe that all children should not just survive, but also thrive. We use applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy to reinforce desirable behaviors, discourage unwanted behaviors, increase self-esteem, improve social skills, and develop emotional competence. Our ABA therapy services also aim to enhance academic performance and teach life skills that lead to greater independence and overall well-being.
We use an interdisciplinary approach to develop a personalized program for each child that might include behavioral therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, speech-language therapy, and augmentative and alternative communication therapy. Additionally, we encourage parent training and group therapy sessions to help all family members with communication and stress management.
Autism Therapy Services
Our differences should not be something to be ashamed of or something to hide; rather, they should be accepted and celebrated. This is especially true for children with autism who observe differences in others or themselves, as it can become a source of distress and lead to other issues.
Recognizing and embracing diversity is an important part of every child’s development and mental health. To ensure that children with autism and other special needs have the opportunity to develop a healthy sense of identity and acceptance, autism therapy services can be a valuable tool.
Autism therapy services might entail language acquisition, problem behavior reduction, social skills development, emotional support and regulation, and much more. A robust behavioral and skills-learning acquisition program can help children learn to embrace their differences and provide them with coping skills to manage stressful or unexpected situations.
It is also essential for all children to learn to appreciate the differences in others. This helps to foster a sense of respect and tolerance, which is beneficial for both the child and society as a whole.
Here at Therapyland, we offer services to provide children with a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings while they learn new life skills.
Not only can our therapy programs be beneficial for children, but they can also be beneficial for entire families. Parents can gain a better understanding of their child’s needs, and work together to create a supportive environment. Our highly trained therapists can also provide parents with guidance on how to navigate difficult conversations and provide effective discipline.
Our Therapy Services
At Therapyland, we believe that every child should be given the chance to reach their full potential and lead a happy, fulfilling life. Our mission is to create multiple opportunities for children with autism and other disabilities to achieve their developmental milestones and become as independent as possible.
We offer a wide range of evidence-based therapy services, including:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy – Based on the science of learning and behavior, ABA therapy is used to increase skills and reduce problem behaviors in children with autism, communication disorders, and other developmental disabilities.
- Occupational Therapy (OT) – Assists children with physical, cognitive, and sensory processing difficulties in achieving greater independence in daily routines and activities. Occupational therapy helps teach skills like feeding, bathing, and dressing, as well as general dexterity, sensory, and motor skills.
- Physical Therapy (PT) – Helps children with physical disabilities or delays in development to improve their motor skills. Physical therapy services can lead to better strength, balance, and coordination.
- Speech-Language Therapy (ST) – Assists children in improving their communication and social skills using verbal-behavior-based programs. Speech therapy and language therapy help children learn how to express their needs and feelings, which allows them to develop stronger relationships with their family, peers, and community.
- Feeding Therapy – Teaches children with feeding difficulties how to eat and drink safely and independently. Feeding therapy services take into consideration sensory, behavioral or oral-motor issues, as well as food intolerances, allergies, and other digestive conditions.
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Therapy – Empowers children with communication difficulties to develop more effective ways to express themselves. AAC therapy might include teaching the child and their family how to use alternate communication devices and methods.
