PTA offers several approaches to provide your child with the best possible therapy services.  All of the approaches work towards specific goals set at the initial evaluation based on your child's areas of need.  

• Traditional Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapy - these services are provided with the therapist working one-on-one with your child.  The sessions are typically offered 1-2 times per week for 30-60 minutes. 
• Intensive Therapy - these services are provided 3-4 times per week for one to three weeks at a time.  The sessions address specific functional goals and typically incorporate more than one therapy discipline.  

• Group Therapy -these services are provided in a group with children around the same age with similar needs and goals.  They are led by one or more therapists depending on the needs of the group.  
• Feeding Therapy - provided by occupational therapists or speech language pathologists with advanced training in feeding, feeding therapy helps a child learn to eat safely, feed themselves and enjoy food.  Feeding therapy may be provided individually, in a group and/or intensively.
