Our Philosophy

Improvement occurs in accordance with two principles of change:  

  1. The more you practice something the better you will be 
  2. Receiving consistent instruction from multiple sources results in faster learning.

Because of these principles, we build therapy teams that consist of experts and of those closest to the child. The structure of our teams ensures that change occurs beyond the therapy room. Our teams consist of the child, the child’s Champion of Change (the therapist), and the child’s Agent(s) of Change (often caregivers).  

 Champions of Change make a therapy plan, educate and coach the Agents of Change on how to implement the plan, and help the Agents of Change overcome any barriers that arise.  

 Agents of Change are the people who are best able to make change happen: they implement the therapy plan, observe and report progress, and communicate difficulties or barriers.
