Statement of Treatment Philosophy
Statement of Treatment Philosophy
We believe that every child and young adult with special needs is a unique gift from God, and as such, each carries special gifts inside that need to be identified and encouraged.
Each such person is a part of a community and should have access to the same educational, physical, emotional, and social opportunities that neurotypical children and adults enjoy.
We believe in introducing children and young adults to specialized exercise, academic, and social activities, as well as educational games, enrichment activities, and recreation tailored to their special needs and gifts.
These help special individuals to better relate to their family, teachers, neighbors, merchants, communities, friends, and the greater world around them, and to better connect and communicate in all levels of relationships while reducing periods of self-stimulating and/or inappropriate behaviors.
