School breaks can be a welcome change of pace for children, but they can also disrupt routines, especially for kids who thrive on structure. Without regular therapy sessions, progress can slow, and some children may struggle to adjust when school starts again.
At Dynamic Therapy Specialists (DTS), we offer intensive therapy sessions to help children build skills, stay on track, and gain confidence while having fun. My name is Stacy Levy, and I’m here to talk with you about what intensive therapy is and how it can be beneficial to you and your family.
What Do We Mean by “Intensive Therapy?”
At Dynamic Therapy Specialists, intensive therapy is more than just extended sessions—it’s a unique opportunity for children to receive targeted, immersive support during school breaks. Our intensive therapy programs provide longer, more focused sessions at the same cost as a standard therapy session, making high-quality care even more accessible to families in our community.
Intensive therapy offers a refreshing change from traditional sessions, keeping your child engaged and on track during day-long, week-long, or summer breaks from school. These programs can range from just a few hours per day to up to 27 hours per week, depending on the length of the break. Options include everything from half-day mini-camps to our comprehensive summer therapeutic program, Camp Dynamics.
During this intensive therapy opportunity, your child will be engaged with all disciplines: occupational and speech-language therapy, as well as auditory processing therapy, whether or not that’s an area of weakness. Our specialists are facilitating intensive therapy opportunities throughout the day.
Parents Can Take Advantage of School Breaks or Days Off with Intensive Therapy Opportunities
This is a valuable opportunity for your child to not only practice the skills they’ve been developing in one-on-one sessions but also to apply them in a group setting. They will continue to receive individualized attention during intensive therapy sessions. Parents appreciate these structured, immersive experiences, knowing their child is benefiting from comprehensive therapy across various settings and with a diverse team of specialists.
We don’t allow any screen time at our intensive opportunities. We keep the activities fun and structured around a day camp premise. Our intensive therapy focuses on your child’s individual goals while also incorporating activities such as:
- Playing in the sensory gym for a full-sensory experience
- Stretching those muscles outside in our backyard
- Planning and completing in obstacle courses challenging executive functioning and balance
- Participating in arts and crafts targeting fine motor skills
- Enjoying dance parties and moving to the beat
- Participating in story time while enhancing listening skills
- Practicing self-control in our yoga sessions
- Enhancing written expression through fun activities
- Making friends and learning how to maintain friends through social groupings and games
- Plus a lot more!
Intensive therapy is an excellent opportunity to utilize during school breaks—not only because parents often struggle to find structured activities during these times, but also because it can provide the extra boost your child needs to achieve their goals. Additionally, it offers a chance to practice newly learned skills in a supportive group setting.
