Raising children is not easy. While we all intuitively know that each child is unique and will have varying strengths and weaknesses, our hyper-connected world makes it all too easy to unhelpfully compare our childrens' achievements to every quasi-acquantances' picture-perfect profile. If you are concerned about your child's development, Progress Through Play can provide developmental evaluations using peer-reviewed, standardized evaluations for children of all ages and developmental levels. For children found to have developmental delays, we will develop a treatment plan with you that is focused on enhancing your vision and ability to embed developmentally appropriate play into your daily routines.
"Play-based interventions are practices designed to improve socio-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development through guided interactive play. During play sessions, an interventionist uses strategies including modeling, verbal redirection, reinforcement, and indirect instruction to sustain and encourage child play activities. Through the use of appropriate play materials and the direction of the interventionist, the goal is for young children with disabilities to be better able to explore, experiment, interact, and express themselves.
