Speech/Language Therapy
Our primary goal in speech/language therapy, as well as in our other services, is to build your child’s confidence and engagement in life. To achieve that, Integrated Therapy Solutions offers child led, family-centered speech/language therapy that fosters individual differences, promoting better outcomes.
Speech therapists at our center may work using an intensive model or follow a traditional model of 1 or 2 sessions/week depending on the needs and availability of the child and family to facilitate engagement, speech/language, social skills, executive function and beyond. Our therapists meet each child at their level of development and scaffold them to move up the developmental ladder at the most expedited level that a particular child is able to meet.
Both speech/language therapy and occupational therapy can help children who are struggling with executive function and educational skills.
Executive function is a term that describes your child’s ability to plan and organize, regulate emotions, problem-solve, and pay attention. Organically improving executive functioning by addressing the underlying developmental building blocks can help resolve present problems while preventing new ones. Executive function and self-regulation skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.
Occupational Therapy
To help a child develop, we must address them and work with them wholistically as an individual person, rather than as the sum of their behavioral symptoms. An occupational therapist at our center will always follow a child’s lead, meeting them where they are developmentally and scaffolding them to higher and higher developmental levels. Our science-based, clinically proven, family-centered approach relies on the Intensives Model, a globally used gold-standard approach.
By working within a development framework that respects your child’s unique progress and goals, we minimize stress and frustration and increase safety and pleasure resulting in accelerated achievement of goals when compared to traditional therapy options, which are also offered to families who cannot do intensives for various reasons.
Physical Therapy
Our Intensives Model of physical therapy allows us to encourage children to set goals and meet them within an accelerated timeline. In a few weeks, an Intensives Model can provide results that could take months to achieve using a traditional model of 1 – 2 visits/week.
A physical therapist at Integrated Therapy Solutions strives to move the child to increasing levels of independence, allowing them to become more confident in their skills, thus practice more and improve faster. For this purpose, we offer The TheraSuit Method – Intensive Neuro Functional Strengthening® (INFS) program which is based and validated by research and science from Epigenetic, Neurology and Exercise Physiology and Total Motion Release (TMR) Tots & Teens - Beneficial for patients with limited mobility &/or body awareness. Includes: geriatric, post-op acute care, & adults with developmental delays.
Child-Led, Clinically Proven Approaches
Our proprietary treatment is the Awaken Listening Method. The focus of which is an appropriate combination and hierarchy of therapeutic interventions which are always child-led, clinically proven approaches. The Awaken Listening Method is a tailored, individualized treatment plan, based on the findings of our proprietary developmental assessment of the individual. This treatment plan includes any number of the following:

Our focus is on understanding the developmental profile of your child in order to offer the most appropriate treatment plan. We reassess every 6 months to formulate the progression of the plan for the following 6 months. A typical intensive treatment plan take anywhere from a year to 18 months. This may not be sufficient for certain developmental diagnosis, which by virtue of their severity may take much longer.
An important aspect of the Awaken Listening Method is to ensure parents learn how to assist their children at home, accelerating the gains even further. Our therapists offer the necessary training and support to make this possible and available for parents to use at home during their daily routines.
Our Philosophy
We are dedicated to each one of our patients. Helping a child or adult struggling with developmental concerns requires building a high level of trust, which we do by listening, watching and following the patient’s interest and intent.
We scaffold and encourage our patients to reach their goals. By avoiding putting the pressure of expectations on the child, we allow the patient to improve at the fastest pace possible.
Our intervention is more successful because we target the origin of the learning difference as closely as possible versus concentrating on chronologically aged expectations, which are often not achievable out of context and need other underlying skills to come in first.

Seeing your child struggle and not knowing what to do can leave you feeling helpless. We understand.
