What is an Integrated Therapy Model?
Our Integrated Therapy Model is designed to nurture children's growth by combining interventions across three essential settings: school, home, and our center. With shadows offering support in school, therapy sessions conducted at home and in our center, we create a seamless learning experience that maximizes a child's potential.
Theoretical Underpinnings of the Integrated Therapy Model
The Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Model suggests that a child is embedded within multiple systems which interact to influence behaviour. Schools, parents’ workplaces, networks of friends and communities, and therapists, form support networks of the child’s family and make up the Microsystem in direct contact with the child.
The Whole Child Approach to education focuses attention on the child’s social, emotional, mental, physical, as well as cognitive development. The approach is built upon the 5 tenets of child development and states that each child deserves to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
Benefits of Integrated Therapy Model
Our Integrated Therapy Model combines three vital settings—home, center, and school—to provide a comprehensive approach that nurtures every aspect of a child's development.
With therapy sessions tailored to the child's needs, our model ensures personalized learning that addresses individual challenges and promotes skill acquisition.
The synergy of home-based therapy, center interventions, and school shadows fosters holistic growth, enhancing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
By integrating therapy concepts across different environments, children generalize skills learned in therapy sessions to real-world scenarios, ensuring practical application and long-term retention.
Our model encourages collaboration among therapists, educators, and parents, creating a cohesive team dedicated to a child's growth and success.
School shadows provide immediate support during classroom activities, enabling children to navigate challenges in real-time and fostering a positive learning experience.
The combined efforts of home, center, and school interventions allow for comprehensive progress tracking, enabling us to fine-tune strategies based on evolving needs.
The Integrated Therapy Model empowers children to become more independent, self-reliant, and confident in managing their academic and daily life tasks.
The benefits gained from our Integrated Therapy Model extend beyond the immediate academic sphere, positively impacting a child's lifelong learning and overall well-being.
