Therapy Programs

At Kid Power Therapy Services we recognize that each child comes to us with unique strengths and challenges. These special needs can be met with a variety of traditional and alternative therapy programs used to facilitate growth and skill acquisition.

Kid Power therapists combine techniques to create an eclectic and very individualized approach for each child.

Occupational and speech therapy services are offered both individually or as a co-treatment.

Therapy Programs offered include:

Evaluations:
We offer both occupational therapy and speech/language evaluations by qualified therapists with experience with the pediatric population.
Our therapists have experience looking at sensory processing, speech and language development and visual processing.

Co treatment:
An occupational therapist and a speech language pathologist work together with the child for an individual session. We have found that many children make faster progress with this more intense approach. While the occupational therapist assists the child with sensory processing and level of arousal, the speech pathologist can simultaneously facilitate speech and language development.

Consultation:
An occupational therapist and/or a speech language pathologist meet with the family for an extended sessions to informally assess the child's strengths and needs for development of a home program.

Intensive Therapy:
The child receives therapy for four to five consecutive days for an hour and a half to two hours per day. This enables the occupational therapist and/or speech language therapist to address specific areas of need in a more intense manner.

Sensory Integration Therapy: Sensory integration is one's ability to interpret incoming sensory input and use that information for function.
Our therapists have extensive training treating children with sensory integration dysfunction, sensory defensiveness, and motor planning difficulties.
