Interventions

Timely interventions assist the brain in its neuroplasticity - the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization.

Children need guidance and assistance to develop life skills. Our team is here to aid the child towards acquiring the skills that will help him/her to navigate the world we live in and to learn how to interact socially with others.

Interventions are tailored specific to each child’s developmental and learning needs. The team takes on a practical and meaningful approach in the child’s context, to integrate learning goals in the family’s daily life interactions.

Focus Areas for Intervention

  • Communication (Verbal and Non-verbal)
  • Play Skills
  • Interacting with Peers
  • Daily Living Skills
  • Anger or Anxiety Management
  • Understanding Emotions
  • Self-esteem
  • Academic Support
  • Visual and Auditory Processing Skills

The Lindamood-Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®) program develops concept imagery as a basis for comprehension and higher order thinking. Concept imagery development greatly helps reading and listening comprehension, memory, oral vocabulary, critical thinking, and writing.

The Lindamood-Bell Seeing Stars® Program successfully develops symbol imagery for reading and spelling.

Rhythmic movements are gentle rocking and reflex integration movements that stimulate neural pathways and promote learning, emotional balance and ease of movement. RMTi is an effective way to help with symptoms of ADD/ADHD, learning challenges, autism and behavioral/emotional imbalances without the use of drugs.

Movement-based learning has come to be known in the neurobiological field as any brain-based learning that stimulates the growth of neural pathways through movement of the body.

Movement-based learning grew out of research revolving around kinesiology. Kinesiology is the study of human movement that encompasses biological components of movement including anatomical, physiological, neurological, biochemical and biomechanical. Theoretical knowledge of kinesiology is applied in many areas including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and vision training. The approach of these applications can be therapeutic, preventive, or high-performance.

Social Thinking is a flexible teaching framework that is designed to help individuals ages four and up with autism spectrum disorder and other social and communication difficulties.

Social and Emotional Learning is a process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Stop Think Do aims to take the emotions out of all problem areas (behavioural, learning, social and moods) and redirect the energy into problem solving. Emotions are identified and expressed early at the STOP stage, ensuring the brain has the opportunity to THINK about options to solve the problem, and motivating and skilling the person to DO it.

The Tomatis® Method is a natural approach to neurosensory stimulation. Its listening programs change the music and voice in real time in order to capture the brain’s attention and to develop motor, emotional and cognitive skills. Developed by the French Doctor and Researcher, Alfred Tomatis, the Tomatis® Method relies on an advanced technology and the excellence of its trained professionals on how to use it.
