Why Joy and Laughter Developmental Therapy
Individualized
Joy and Laughter Developmental Therapy prioritizes quality over quantity in their daily sessions. Their therapists have dedicated time for each patient for planning and documentation, allowing them to prepare activities that will bring out the best in your individual child. Gone are the days of one single activity set up for an afternoon’s worth of patients. Each child gets specialized, expert attention, with activities tailored to their needs and strengths.
Collaborative
Their truly revolutionary approach is in our cooperation. Every week, they have built-in collaboration time where your child’s therapist can learn strategies from other disciplines to take back to your sessions. They also can more readily identify the need for multiple diagnoses, allowing them to approach your child’s treatment from all the needed angles so they thrive.
Fun
Play is the business of childhood. Through play, children learn and develop as they make sense of the world around them. During their play, your child can relax and be natural, allowing us to more quickly identify any challenges they may be facing. They also stay more engaged with their therapist when they are having fun. Joy and Laughter means play with a purpose.
