“A whole new way to look at therapeutic activity!”

 

Move, explore, grow and make exciting discoveries within The Talcott Center’s new therapeutic play group.  This enrichment based play group is developed and guided by an occupational therapist.  Each session is focused on providing a nurturing and supportive environment where parent and child move together through activities designed to provide each child with the “just right” challenge so that success is always within reach.  While children are actively engaged in furthering developmental skills, parents are actively learning about therapeutic activities and approaches that maximize their child’s potential.  Come join us in the fun and explore all the possibilities of “play in progress”.
 

 

   

For a limited time, The Talcott Center for Child Development is offering a therapeutic play group for children 2 – 4 years old. The group will feature techniques used by Talcott therapists and will feature movement, art, music and more.  Implemented by parents and with assistance from a Talcott OT, this format will revolutionize the way we think of therapy. 

Goals are discussed at the beginning of the program and parents will have the opportunity to see progress and understand the different aspects of the therapeutic activities throughout each session.

“Finally, a viable, affordable therapeutic solution!” 
 
   
As a parent or caregiver of a child with special needs, you can greatly appreciate the magical milestones that occur during your playful encounters with your child each day.  These early developmental years are the foundation for a lifetime of learning.  Each child is hard at work in their own process of discovery and mastery, driven by that which is fun and rewarding. It is well-known that PLAY is the occupation of childhood.
 
Designed by pediatric occupational therapists (OT’s), “Play in Progress” is a therapeutic play group that offers the opportunity for parents  and children to embark on the journey of discovery and mastery  through play, in a nurturing and supportive environment.  Occupational therapists are skilled in recognizing the strengths that each child possesses, as well as the challenges he/she faces.  With this in mind, the therapist is able to provide and teach parents how to provide each child with the “just right challenge” so that success is always within reach, every step of the way. 
 
   
 
 
Each “Play in Progress” session will incorporate fundamental skills and areas of development that are the building blocks to physical, social/emotional and intellectual well-being.  Under the guidance of an occupational therapist, parent/caregiver and child will engage in a variety of activities that will facilitate progress in skill areas for children, while parents learn the most effective therapeutic activities and approaches that they carry-over into everyday lives.  The following skill areas will be incorporated into each session:
  • Gross motor skills
  • Fine motor skills
  • Social participation
  • Sensory processing
   

Thank you for investing in your child’s most important occupation of childhood…PLAY!
