Helping little voices grow
Get to Know Us
At Innovative Minds Therapy we utilize a play based, child-led, and family centered approach. Play based therapy increases a child’s attention and builds a positive interaction. Children are motivated and engaged in communicating with activities of high interest. Social skills are learned through play in a naturalistic setting. There is an increase in progress noted in children’s speech and or language goals through play. It is very important to get to the child’s level and enter their world. Affect is very important and conveys much more than words can express. Moreover, it is essential to have the family involved throughout this process in order to promote carry over at home and empower them. All of this makes a difference when treating the child.
