Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

CST is a gentle hands on approach which helps improve central nervous system function. The CST practitioner uses their hands as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool to assess and treat the physical body and central nervous system. By complementing the body's natural healing process, CST can benefit the body in a number of ways.

We use fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instructional methods to enable children to master handwriting as an automatic and comfortable skill.​

Social Skills

Our social skills programs are designed to facilitate positive peer interactions. Children participate in fun activities that work on social skills such as greeting, cooperative play, sharing, turn taking, making friends, resolving conflict, and communication. Individual therapy goals from PT, OT, and/or SLP programs are integrated into our groups. Our groups are small, they are formed to accommodate the needs, interests, and age of each participant.

If you, as a parent of a child with a disability, do not agree with the results of the individualized evaluation of your child, as conducted by the school system, you have the right to obtain what is known as an Independent Educational Evaluation, or an IEE (§300.502). This means that you may ask that a professional, competent evaluator who is not employed by the school system conduct another evaluation of your child. Our therapists are qualified to perform these IEE's and we have an excellent relationship with AACPS to schedule and perform these assessments.

Teletherapy is therapy that is provided over a secure video connection. We are able to provide speech, feeding, occupational and physical therapies via telehealth.

We would be happy to discuss your child’s needs and how sessions would look for their specific personality and therapy goals.
