Sensory-Emotional Regulation/Apraxia/Adrenaline Over-Reaction/Sel-care Skills
Foundations In Regulation Program
Children, teens, and young adults who are experiencing difficulties in their daily lives such as: being unable to tolerate or complete needed every day activities, experiencing “shut-down” episodes, unable to navigate the community events they desire, or are unable to make substantial progress with their current therapies due to severe challenges; can take advantage of our program and get individualized consultation and begin the ten step Foundations in Regulation plan.
It has become our mission over the last decade to use our years of knowledge and experience to help clients have more calm and happy days by laying a foundation for regulation that goes way beyond just sensory strategies, to cover adrenaline over-reaction, apraxia solutions, executive function, breaking barriers to complex communication and more.
There are 10 crucial elements that set the foundation for calm days, increased learning, and obtaining goals, and overall access to a life that clients crave and hope for. We find most families we consult with are missing 1-4 of these crucial areas.
Interested to hear more about how we can help? Would you like to schedule a 20 minute complimentary consultation? Have a question for our team? Complete the Contact form below.
