Services
Sessions are one and one half hours long for the initial session
and one hour for each visit thereafter.(Very young children sometimes
are seen for shorter visits, depending on their abilities) Each
intervention is uniquely designed respecting the distinctness
and special needs of each client Stories, games and play approaches
are often used with the younger children. This approach has proven
