My child is too young and I have concerns how does the assessment or therapy work through the screen

Your child doesn't need to sit in front of the screen or look at it during the session. Instead, we conduct interviews with parents and recommend placing the camera in a position where we can observe the child moving around, whether it's walking, running, or dancing around the house. Throughout the therapy, we guide parents on how to engage with their young children in natural settings.

I have concerns about the screen time of my school-age child. How can we manage that?

We offer a shorter session option (30 minutes), and we also provide the option for back-to-back sessions (30 minutes in the morning followed by 30 minutes in the afternoon). This way, the child can have a break from the screen during the day.

Do you work with children diagnosed with Autism, ADD/ADHD, Genetic Syndromes, and Challenging Behavi

Yes, we do. Children with Autism, ADHD, and various other disorders may experience challenges with language and social skills. We conduct assessments of speech, language, social, and literacy skills, and then develop individualized treatment plans.
