WHY WE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE
INTEGRATED THERAPY
When it comes to therapy, children with special needs may struggle to generalize the skills he or she works on with a specialist during therapy to other times and places. Having the opportunity to practice skills in their daily routines and environments is an important part of the therapy process. Therapists working within classroom routines have the real life perspective and context needed to assess a child’s area of need. This gives the therapist more opportunities to collaborate with teachers, increase repetition and practice of skills, and provide additional sources of motivation for the child.
BENEFITS OF INTEGRATED THERAPY
- Children learn the skills then need in the places they use them.
- Children have increased opportunities to practice the skills they learn with peers and other adults.
- Helps to foster social-emotional development and encourages relationship building.
- Eliminates the transition in and out of school. The child gets to stay in the classroom, so they don't miss out on classroom activities and learning.
- Teachers get to expand their own skills by watching therapists work with the student.
- Therapists are able to see their plans in action, making it easier to evaluate progress and make changes as necessary.
- Therapists and teachers can work together to develop strategies that are most helpful for the child in their specific environment.
- Assessments can be done across a variety of interactions and routines.
- Having therapy take place during school hours means more quality time for family in the evenings.
- Because it just makes sense! Integrated therapy meets the child where they are and sets them up for successful integration of life skills.
