Life doesn't happen in a clinician's office.  It's not sterile and simple.  It's messy, unpredictable, joyful. We try to teach the child how to experience the world as it exists.  This involves exposing them to real world situations and practicing how to handle them: standing in a grocery aisle, dealing with undesired food on the plate, eating at a restaurant, inviting a peer/friend over, attending a party, shopping, planning what to do next. These are moments that make life a fuller experience. These moments aid in learning independence and we will do our best to teach your child how to handle and thrive in multiple settings.
