Holistic Approach at KITES: Comprehensive Care for Neurodivergent Children
At KITES, we believe in a whole-child approach that addresses every aspect of a child’s development. Our methods are rooted in scientifically-backed practices and are designed to help children thrive across physical, emotional, cognitive, and social domains. By integrating the expertise of doctors, therapists, families, and communities, we ensure each child receives personalized care that promotes long-term growth and well-being.
Our Approach: Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Care
Medical Expertise: Comprehensive Assessment and Care
We begin by ensuring a thorough understanding of each child’s medical and developmental needs. Our team of pediatricians, neurologists, and specialists work together to assess the child’s unique health profile. Using tools like the CARS, BOT-2,DST,REELS and Vineland Scales, we develop tailored care plans that align with the child’s medical, cognitive, and social needs.
Therapies: Evidence-Based, Personalized Interventions
We offer a wide range of evidence-based therapies to support children’s development. These therapies are customized based on the child’s needs and goals:
- Occupational Therapy (OT): Focuses on motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living skills.
- Speech-Language Therapy (SLT): Improves communication, language, and social interaction.
- Physical Therapy (PT): Enhances coordination, strength, and mobility.
- Behavioral Therapy (ABA): Works on reducing challenging behaviors and promoting positive social skills.
Each therapy is continuously assessed using proven tools to ensure the child is making meaningful progress.
Community Engagement: Connecting Therapy with Real-World Skills
We believe that skills learned in therapy should be practiced in real-world settings. We help children develop social skills and self-confidence by engaging them in activities that include:
- Social Skills Groups: Encouraging peer interaction and communication.
- Extracurricular Activities: Promoting social inclusion and building self-esteem.
- School Collaboration: Supporting academic achievement and social integration in the school setting.
Through these activities, children apply their skills in real-life environments, ensuring that progress is meaningful and sustainable.
Parent Education: Empowering Families for Success
Parents play a critical role in supporting their child’s development. At KITES, we provide parent education to ensure families are equipped to reinforce therapeutic goals at home:
- Workshops: We offer educational sessions on topics like behavior management, sensory strategies, and communication.
- Coaching Sessions: One-on-one support to help parents implement strategies effectively.
- Resource Materials: Practical tools such as guides and checklists for parents to use at home.
By empowering parents, we help ensure that therapy continues outside the clinic, reinforcing the child’s progress in everyday life.
