INTENSIVE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN IN ARIZONA

UCP of Central Arizona uses current evidence-based therapies in our intensive model of therapy. Our intensive therapies are true to their name. It’s an “intense” time of focus on skills that you, your child and their therapist decide are important.

Your child’s therapist will create the “just right” challengethat encourages repetitive practice, leading to motor learning. Motor learning make changes in a child’s neural network needed for skill acquisition. When your child has fun while working hard, they will be more likely to retain those skills and be more motivated to use their new skills at home. Building motivation and confidence will take your child to the next level.

Are you familiar with Episodic Bursts of Therapy? They are an intensive-like “burst” of therapy designed to complement ongoing therapy. Like intensives, the episodic model focuses on 1 or 2 goals that your child is really motivated to accomplish to take advantage of a period of rapid gains or help them overcome a plateau. Families like this option because it allows them to take advantage of school breaks, such as holidays or spring break.

Plan-of-care(s) for the intensive can be developed in a virtual session with the therapist 2 weeks prior to the first day of the intensive for each therapy type for a cost of $100 each. Therapy sessions during the intensive program are $135 per hour.
