Direct Therapy

Our direct therapy sessions focus on helping learners develop skills that will serve them in their daily routines and tasks. We use proactive environmental supports and embed natural teaching opportunities within everyday activities. Every minute of direct therapy is therapeutic and spent learning.

We provide modeling and coaching to teach parents, caregivers, and teachers how to consistently implement the behavior plan at home in and in the community.
