Child Development Therapy

Child development intervention services are provided to increase a child's cognitive or mental development as well as their social-emotional development through structured play activities. Child development services address children's ability to gather, interpret and act on information about the world around them. These services allow children the opportunity to practice a variety of skills in a structured learning environment with the expectation that they will be better able to demonstrate those skills in other environments and play scenarios. Child development services address a child's cognitive and social-emotional development in the following areas: attention and memory, problem solving, functional use of objects, symbolic play, visual perceptual skills, interpersonal skills, self-regulation and self-concept through a variety of toys including shape sorters, blocks, puzzles and books. Many of our child development staff members are certified Infant Massage Trainers who can provide families with training on infant massage techniques to use with their children. Child development specialists are also great resources for parents on typical childhood development and milestones, play and peer interactions, as well as strategies to address behavioral challenges
