What is my role in therapy as a parent?

Parent involvement is directly related to the Child's success. Parents are always welcome to be present during therapy, although not required for the entire session.  At Kidsense we talk with the parent at the end of the session for home programming as needed. Home programs vary for each child but generally range from 15 min/day to 2hrs/5days per week. It is important that a positive relationship is present between the therapist, the child, and the family. The therapist is responsible for leading the session and engaging the child in the "just right" challenges for success and growth. The parent is responsible for follow through at home and in the various social environments the child encounters.

What is Neurological Integration System? (NIS)

NIS is a gentle, effective, treatment method that addresses the causes of your symptom patterns. We evaluate and address areas of physiological and neurological functions that you may not be aware are possibly related to your complaint.The therapist uses a prioritized set of treatment protocols that evaluate neurological circuitry and the facets of body function they represent. Healthcare with NIS has everything to do with the brain and is based on neuroscience. Muscle testing (scientifically validated as an indicator of altered physiological function [D.A. Monti, ET AL, 1999]) is used to determine whether the brain is in full dialogue with all body functions. Once a dysfunction has been identified the therapist uses gentle protocols with anatomical contract points, to help the brain "acknowledge" the dysfunction and reset the circuitry.

My child has an IEP or IFSP. Does my child need more services?

All of our therapists have experience in the schools and in the clinic. They can differentiate the possible extra benefits of private therapy, so your therapist will make recommendations once your child is evaluated. The major difference between school and clinic therapy is that the school focuses on helping the child learn in that specific environment. They attempt to find a nice balance between therapy at school, which is educationally directed, and time and education in the classroom. The clinic is more medically based, it focuses on the skills that are impacted in any environment especially home and the community.  School as well uses a variety of specialized techniques that therapists receive extensive training for. These may include: Auditory integration, sensory integration, MNRI, NIS, NDT, massage, theratogs, cranial sacral therapy, oral motor techniques, casting and splinting, aquatic therapy. In the clinic, we focus more on getting to the underling issues by making permanent neurological changes so the child can be successful in adapting to a variety of environments.
