Individual Therapies

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy uses play to facilitate changes in your child’s “occupations” such as feeding, dressing, playing with toys, socializing with peers, interacting with adults, attending to/following directions, and completing academic activities.

Occupational Therapy at Leaps and Bounds uses a sensory-integration based approach to make improvements in these skill areas. This means that therapists use child-directed, therapist-guided “play” to stimulate the various sensory systems (tactile, visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, and proprioceptive). Through these sensory “play” activities, your child’s nervous system learns to respond to the world differently, allowing him to learn new skills and successfully complete previously difficult tasks.



Speech and Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapy addresses concerns with your child’s ability to communicate with others. Speech is the ability to produce sounds for speaking. Language is the use and understanding of words for communication.

Speech and Language Pathologists at Leaps and Bounds use a variety of therapeutic techniques to improve your child’s sound production, language development, pragmatics, and oral motor skills. The Speech and Language Pathologists at Leaps and Bounds use sensory-motor activities to enhance language development and to make therapy fun for your child.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is effective if your child demonstrates difficulties with strength and movements that are necessary for activities such as walking, running, and climbing. Therapy can improve your child’s flexibility, balance and coordination.

Physical therapy at Leaps and Bounds is provided in a fun, playful manner. Your child can benefit from physical therapy both as traditional therapy and/or aquatic therapy.



Group Therapies

Social Skills Groups

These groups are designed to help children with varying abilities. Therapists will use a variety of teaching techniques including, structured games, cognitive behavior approaches, and the “Alert Program.” Goals may include some of the following; initiating / sustaining interactions, understanding non-verbal cues, cooperative play, and conflict resolution. Each group is uniquely designed to meet your child’s social goals.

Handwriting Groups

These groups are designed to address all levels of handwriting skills. If your child has difficulties with handwriting, there may be underlying concerns that should be addressed prior to working on skills such as letter formation, spacing, and line adherence. These groups will use play-based activities to develop foundational skills such as postural control, strength, body awareness, and/or visual processing, which are necessary for successful handwriting.

Play and Say Group

This group (for children 24-36 months) will help your child with the foundational skills needed for preschool. Led by a Speech and Language Pathologist and an Occupational Therapist, activities will address social skills, classroom readiness, sensory-motor development, oral motor skills, and pre-academics.

Cooking Club

This group (for children ages 7-12 years) will create a fun, social way to introduce new and/or non-desired foods. Your child will be involved with the entire process of meal planning, food preparation and mealtime. The purpose of this group is to make mealtime a more positive experience and to expand your child’s diet.
