THERAPY PROGRAMS

What We Do?

Any early intervention and therapy programs which are activities based and are exploratory & experiential in nature attain higher efficacies in helping a child with special education needs to develop his/ her skills and fostering higher order thinking skills as well, required to overcome learning challenges. Creative and arts therapies are more effective for children with mood disorders, personality issues and emotional disturbances.

As every child is unique, all therapy programs are holistic, highly personalised, ensuring that only appropriate activities are adjusted and provided to fit the needs of every child under our guidance.

Early Intervention Program

Preschoolers before heading to primary level educations who are taking a longer time to meet standard development milestones may consider early intervention programs (EIPs) to improve on overall abilities and skills. Neuronal connectivity network and its sophistication of a child grows at the fastest rate from birth to the age of six. These connectivity lay the foundation of everyone’s process and skills. Besides developing the child brain’s executive functions (defined as working memory, self-regulation, cognitive flexibility), holistic EIPs also foster your child’s skills in paying attention, curiosity, imagination, speech and language, problem solving, communication, social interaction, critical thinking, creativity and confidence.

The highly personalised activities are intensive and learning targets are unique and specific to every different child ensuring that your child would be able to hit the developmental milestones after the EIPs.
