What does your child enjoy?

Are they a budding soccer playing, gamer, dancer, gymnast or thespian? When they find something they love to do, they’re motivated to do it more often, meaning that those skills become more deeply ingrained. That’s why we teach both social skills and motor skills through enjoyable games and activities that make therapy the highlight of your child’s week.
