Intensive

To optimize the amount of change and progress that the child can make it is most beneficial to start with intensive program of movement therapy. Doing about 2 hours of therapy each day for a period of 1-3 weeks time allows us to “awaken” the brain's capacity to learn, change, and create new motor and sensory pathways. The intensive program is like a “jump start” for positive change. You can also think of it as a preparation for the muscular, skeletal and nervous system to go to the next level of independence.

​

Because each child is different, and each family is unique we will work with parents and caregivers to set the optimum schedule.​

Follow up is usually 1-2 sessions per week along with an individualized home program. Depending on the child's needs we often repeat the intensive program after a period of 6-8 weeks as needed.

At Movement Horizons we are passionate about our early intervention program and committed to supporting young children with disabilities.

​

Early intervention therapy is vital to unlocking a child's full life potential and maximizing the results of therapy. It involves working alongside children and their families during the child’s most influential developmental years (0-36 months). Research shows that intense therapy and support during these important years can make a very positive difference in the lives of children with disabilities because the rate of development and brain plasticity is most rapid in their early years. 

Starting intervention as the first signs of delays and concerns can completely change the outcome of the challenges that you child might be otherwise facing in their future.

It is also the most incredible way to support and optimize not only motor but also cognitive and emotional development of the child.
