Gentle rocking is a powerful form of sensory input that helps regulate the body’s nervous system and promote a sense of calm.
The rhythmic, repetitive motion provides vestibular input, which supports balance, body awareness, and emotional regulation. This approach is used thoughtfully, based on each client’s sensory profile and comfort level. The therapist remains attuned to how the client’s body responds, ensuring the experience feels soothing and safe.
ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It focuses on understanding how behavior works, how it’s affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. ABA helps children build positive behaviors and reduce behaviors that interfere with learning or daily life.
Communication Skills: Teaching a child to ask for help instead of crying or becoming frustrated.
Attention Skills: Helping a child learn to focus on a task for a few minutes, then gradually increasing time.
Daily Living Skills: Practicing brushing teeth, dressing, or cleaning up toys through step-by-step instruction and praise.
Social Skills: Teaching turn-taking during play or how to greet a peer.
Behavioral Regulation: Replacing challenging behaviors (like yelling) with more appropriate ones (like using words or gestures).
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy helps children develop communication skills, both verbal and nonverbal. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work on areas like pronunciation, understanding and using language, and building social communication.
Play-Based Learning: Using toys or games to encourage talking and interaction (e.g., naming colors or animals while playing).
Listening and Understanding: Practicing following directions, like “Pick up the red block.”
Speech Sounds: Working on articulation by practicing sounds such as “p,” “b,” or “s” through fun repetition and games.
Early Language Development: Encouraging first words or short phrases through songs, books, and play routines.
