Developmental Therapy

Using a variety of play-based interventions, we can help get your child back on track with their age-appropriate motor milestones. Research has shown that early intervention is crucial for supporting children with developmental delays or disabilities to help maximize their potential and improve long-term outcomes. By addressing developmental needs early, interventions can prevent or minimize delays, enhance learning abilities, and boost social and emotional development.

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapist-guided movement approach to treating motor delays or balance/coordination issues. It focuses on improving automatic postural responses, stimulating neuroplasticity, and promoting progress towards developmental milestones. DMI involves exercises and techniques designed to elicit specific active motor responses from the child, ultimately aiming to enhance motor development and overall functioning. DMI assists with achieving neurological maturity and focuses on functional mobility so that your child can achieve the highest level of movement possible.
