Who we are
Activate. Integrate. was created to provide children and teens with practical tools for regulation, focus, and confidence. Our sessions are structured to help each child feel supported while building skills that last beyond the therapy setting.
Our Approach
Every child is unique, and each session is designed to meet them where they are. The process emphasizes regulation first, then activation through movement, and finally integration so new skills can be used beyond the session. This framework helps children strengthen focus, confidence, and independence in a supportive environment.
Our Background
Activate. Integrate. is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with advanced training in developmental and sensory-based models, including DIR/Floortime, the Early Start Denver Model, and Interactive Metronome. This experience allows for a personalized approach that adapts to children of all ages, from toddlers through teens.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: to help children feel capable, confident, and supported — and to give families tools they can see making a difference in everyday life.
Every child’s journey is unique, and each session is built to meet them where they are.
