Research shows that in 8-weeks, with consistent practice, you’ll notice a difference in the way your child interacts and regulates their emotions.

Helpful Tips
- How do I know if my child might need occupational therapy?
-
If you notice that your child has trouble interacting with others or managing their emotions, or that they might have developmental delays, then occupational therapy may be a good fit for them. However, each child is different, so we recommend using our Program Match Tool or signing up for an initial assessment to see if it’s a good fit.
- If my child has special needs, can they enroll in aerial yoga classes, too?
-
There are certain behavioral objectives that a child has to meet for an aerial yoga class so that every student and staff member can have a safe and beneficial experience. Depending on your child’s special needs, they may have to stay in occupational therapy until their behavior meets the required expectations.
- What is the initial assessment process like?
-
The initial assessment measures problem behaviors, adaptive skills, sensory processing, and executive functioning. Once you book an assessment, we’ll ask you to complete an intake form. Once your form is received and reviewed, we will contact you via e-mail with verification of insurance and move forward with the assessment. It will be a comprehensive evaluation consisting of standardized testing, observations, reflex evaluation, and parent-report measures. A meeting is scheduled afterward for a complete review of our findings.
