Alert Group
The purpose of the ALERT Program is to teach self-regulation skills. The program “How Does Your Engine Run” will be used under the guidance and supervision of an occupational therapist to assist children ages 8-12 to develop awareness of arousal levels and offer strategies for self regulation. By participating in the ALERT Program in a group setting, the children will enhance their self-esteem, coping abilities and self knowledge to regulate their arousal states with minimal adult interventions.

Handwriting Group
Getting it Write is designed to help children whose mild neurological challenges result in difficulty with the skills of handwriting. Getting it Write is structured to make a frustrating but necessary task fun. At The Therapy Place, our hope is that children will develop a more positive attitude toward practicing handwriting, a skill for which many have received little positive feedback.
