and utilized the TheraSuit Method® (sensory-motor system),
Universal Exercise Unit (muscle strengthening, functional
skill training and vestibular system re-organizing), Nero-Developmental
Treatment (NDT- facilitation), Sensory Integration/Management
(SI-vestibular system), Therapeutic Listening Program (auditory
system), Myofascial Release (muscle relaxation), and other

* Intensive
Therapy Program (ITP) -
The Intensive
Therapy Program (ITP) is customized to fit the needs of each special
needed child. The Intensive Therapy Program follows the "
TheraSuit Method® " which is an intensive strengthening
program to treat various neurological disorders such as Cerebral
Palsy, neuro-musculoskeletal or neuro-motor disorders, Grobal
or Developmental Delays, and Traumatic Brain Injuries or Spinal
Cord Injuries. This method utilizes the TheraSuit® and Universal
Exercise Unit combined with various treatment and handling
strategies to combat the effects of de-conditioning and immobilization
to promote the maximum potential of independence.

* NDT (Nero-Developmental
Treatment) -
Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is an advanced and widely
recognized therapeutic approach. This hands-on approach is
used in working with people who have central nervous system
insults that create difficulties in controlling movement.
The therapists using NDT treatment work closely with individuals
with neurological challenges (e.g. cerebral palsy, stroke,
head injury). We help them to become as independent as possible.
The therapists work collaboratively with individuals, family,
caregivers and physicians to develop comprehensive treatment
programs based on the principles of human neurology and physiology.
It focuses on handling techniques to maximize proximal stability
in the body, thus improving postural control and functional
mobility.

* SI (Sensory
Integration/Management)-
Sensory integration is an innate neurobiological process and
refers to the integration and interpretation of sensory stimulation
from the environment by the brain. In contrast, sensory integrative
dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input is not integrated
or organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying
degrees of problems in development, information processing,
and behavior. A general theory of sensory integration and
treatment has been developed by Dr. A. Jean Ayres from studies
in the neurosciences and those pertaining to physical development
and neuromuscular function.
Sensory integration focuses primarily on three basic senses--tactile,
vestibular, and proprioceptive. Their interconnections start
forming before birth and continue to develop as the person
matures and interacts with his/her environment. The three
senses are not only interconnected but are also connected
with other systems in the brain. Although these three sensory
systems are less familiar than vision and audition, they are
critical to our basic survival. The inter-relationship among
these three senses is complex. Basically, they allow us to
experience, interpret, and respond to different stimuli in
our environment.

* Therapeutic
Listening-
Therapeutic Listening is a sound-based intervention that is
embedded in the sensory integration perspective. It has evolved
from clinical work built on a foundation of developmental
and neurological principles. Like other sensory integrative
interventions. Therapeutic Listening has a strong impact on
sub-cortical processing of sensor-motor function. As a result,
it can be effective for a variety of occupations ranging from
basic arousal, sensory modulation, and praxis to focused attention
and academics. Therapeutic Listening can be implemented in
a variety of settings although it is primarily a home-based
program. It is individualized for each client and with the
guidance of a trained practitioner can be easily implemented
by parents, teachers, and other caregivers.
Because the auditory
system has connections to many parts of the brain, sound is
a powerful way to access the nervous system and affect changes
at all levels. The music in Therapeutic Listening CDs gives
the listener unique and precisely controlled sensory information.
The music is electronically modified to highlight the parts
of the the sound spectrum that naturally trigger attention
and activate body movement, synchronizing it with the environment.
Therapeutic Listening uses electronic modification, along
with the organized, rhythmical sound patterns inherent in
music, to trigger the self-organizing capacities of the nervous
system.
Therapeutic Listening uses a variety of movement activities
designed to elicait the adaptive responses that are the cornerstone
of sensory integrative treatment. These activities develop
and strengthen the postural responses along with healthy and
relaxed breathing patterns. In this way, Therapeutic Listening
sets up the body and the nervous system for emergent skills
and has been found decrease the time necessary to meet treatment
goals.

* Traditional
Therapy Program-
We provide traditional therapy services (Early Intervention
Program, CPSE program, and RSA Program). Treatment includes
physical exercises to improve joint mobility and stability,
to increase muscle strength and endurance, to facilitate balance
and coordination control, and to promote functional skills.
Therapeutic goals
are focused on:
1. helping children
improve their mobility and stability during their activities
of daily living,
2. preventing or improving the child's permanent physical disabilities,
3. improving the child's functional skills,
4. assessing assistive or adaptive devices to reach the child's
maximum improvement (including wheelchairs, walker, crutches
or orthotics).
