Educational Consultation: Both individualized testing and tutoring as well as staff training targets specific child and staff needs. Examples are: - Conducting a series of standardized tests to assess a child, identify strengths and areas of needed goal development, and  suggestions for program implementation to create a learning curve. - Using Applied Behavior Analysis for positive behaviors and for curriculum instruction, - Gathering Behavioral Data to set up Functional Behavioral Assessments and Behavior Intervention Plans, - Using Visual Supports to structure the teaching day and create predictable routines.

Direct 1:1 Teaching   Students are taught using visual supports, adapted curriculum, and the principles of ABA and TEACCH during sessions that range from 1-3 hours. Data collection is often taken to determine program effectiveness and to guide program modifications. Teaching is very movement oriented, so table and chair work are initially reduced and replaced with Brain Gym, functional vision, and Sensory Integration activities to enhance learning potential.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Somato-Emotional Release, Reiki, and Energy Healing: Hands on healing touch is for all clients seeking improved body awareness and overall well-being. Clients are fully clothed on a massage table facing up with touch pressure of 5-10 grams of weight applied. The results are self generated as much as therapist generated as the techniques of the Upledger Institute are used. See www.upledger.com for details. Holistic Ocean Therapy: For clients who wish to explore their healing potential in a tropical paradise, individualized and small group trips to the Bahamas are arranged. The location is Port Lucaya, in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, where there are a variety of hotels and restaurants all in walking distance to the dock where the boat leaves to the dolphin experience. Most clients enjoy staying at a hotel called The Pelican Bay Resort.  Aqua Cranio Sacral Therapy is conducted in pools or in the sea once daily, and clients choose a variety of dolphin experiences according to swimming skills, scuba diving certification, health, strength, and financial options. Most clients bring a family member who is trained to assist and to carry on Aqua Healing once they go home.  Weather conditions vary, so most trips occur between April and September.   What is the premise here?  Every organ of your body vibrates at a specific frequency,and all water vibrates at a frequency depending upon environmental conditions.  Cranio Sacral Therapy and Energy Healing compliment each other as the client floats in water and receives therapy.  When with the dolphins, they use their sonar to detect frequency imbalances and emit sounds that seem to balance our body's ability to heal.  Dolphins "see" medical conditions through their sonar abilities and work in pairs of two to communicate with each other and the therapist.  The sounds they emit, the touch they give, and the energy they transmit leave the client feeling euphoric.  So far, everyone that has participated leaves saying that they cannot imagine anything else one can do in four days that transformed their lives and state of peace and well being like this has.  The path of healing that occurs has been highly individualized, so it is recommended that you call for a free consultation appointment before considering this.  If you are dreaming of a tropical paradise vacation of relaxing on the beach and sipping coladas at the poolside,  plan to arrive before or stay after the four days of treatment.  The therapy days are.....honestly....long, hard working days in the water for multiple hours at a time, but the benefits are potentially amazing.  The therapists and clients leave with a renewed sense of their own ability to heal.   Please call 914-793-9100 for further information.
