INTERVENTIONS
Interventions are all evidence based using clinical reasoning, neuroscience principles and interventions around sensory processing, motor/postural skills, executive functioning and social emotional development.
The DIR® (Developmental, Individual-difference, Relationship-Based) Model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and supporting the child’s development.
​
The DIR framework enables strong foundations for social, emotional, and functional capacities rather than focusing on developing isolated skills. This model of practice provides a holistic framework for intervention
