Forward Therapy Solutions is committed to providing high quality, outcomes-oriented services to children and families. We use a whole child-whole family approach, incorporating evidenced based strategies with our depth of experience. Our aim is for every parent to be empowered in understanding their child’s development, and confident in helping their child move forward to achieve their greatest potential.
Evidence shows that combined approaches that are embedded into a child and family’s daily routines and in their typical environments, lead to higher levels of achieving outcomes. We come to you, meeting you in your home or in a community setting that is typical for your child and family. In other words, where life happens! This also is important for generalizing learned skills across different environments.
Individualized & Collaborative
We understand that each child and family are unique in their needs, strengths, challenges and family circumstances. We work collaboratively with you, your child, and any others involved in your child’s care, to guide you in mutually agreed upon strategies that best support your child’s development and address your concerns.
Developmental & Relationship Based
Early milestones set the foundations for all development. Our assessments, treatment, home programming, recommendations and parent collaborative coaching are grounded in a whole-child approach and our expertise in child development.
- Development is holistic and interrelated with milestones in one area influencing another, especially with infants and toddlers.
- Every child develops at a unique and individual rate. It is important to know that there are vast differences and ranges within typical development.
- Rate of development is less important than achieving the developmental skills that are building blocks for each next step of development.
Relationships are key to healthy development and learning.
- Young children experience their world as an environment of relationships, and these relationships impact all aspects of their development.
- Every relationship your child has will help shape their early development; from supporting brain and physical development, to helping shape an understanding of the world around them.
- Relationship is about meaningful interactions that are reciprocated. These are the turn taking responsive interactions that help create synapses or connections in the child’s brain, and are strengthened with repetition.
