We strive to be

 thought leaders in our field,  

promoting social emotional development,

 and providing the foundations for 

future success. 

Our programs are designed to help support social emotional development in order to build the foundations for social and academic success. We do this while respecting each child’s individual differences and supporting their individual sensory profiles. We focus on supporting their ability to understand and respond to both verbal and non-verbal communication.

 

Our physical environment is easily adaptable to meet and support each child’s unique sensory and learning profiles. Our program offers a high student/teacher ratio and 1:1 support as needed. We are play-based and believe in following a child’s intent to make learning more meaningful. Once a child is regulated and engaged we can expand on their ideas, introduce social problem solving, and semi -structured activities to help climb the developmental ladder. We also create a predictable environment using visual and sensory supports to help each child attend and participate to the best of their ability.

Does your child have trouble with any of the following?

  • Social communication

  • Emotional processing

  • Regulation

  • Peer interaction

  • Initiating

 

We strive to make a difference by teaching self-regulation strategies and by following the child’s lead to ensure they learn techniques which become meaningful to them.  When this happens, children are, therefore, more apt to utilize and apply these techniques on their own.

"Lorell is highly competent, creative, energetic therapist who puts the needs of the children she serves first and foremost. She has helped many children climb the developmental ladder and has supported many families. Lorell is a pleasure to work with and is a wonderful team member.”
