Autism is a disorder that still requires a lot of research and scientific inquiry. Right now, we know that therapy is an effective treatment that helps people with autism adjust to normal daily life. That's why Intercare offers autism therapy programs in Los Angeles.
We offer four different kinds of therapy: school-based, development intervention, social skills and speech therapy. Therapy is an integral part of the process of dealing with autism. Autism is a spectrum disorder and can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Every child has different needs, which is why we offer a variety of autism therapy programs in Los Angeles. Our school-based therapies have the ultimate goal of making the regular curriculum more accessible to a child.
Development intervention therapy is play-based and encourages children to reach developmental milestones through developmentally appropriate interactions. We utilize the DIR model of treatment, or "floor time." Special focus is given to the functional-emotional milestones like self-regulation and shared attention, engagement, two-way communication, problem-solving, representing feelings with ideas and symbols, and logical thinking.
Our Social Skills autism therapy program (available in Los Angeles and Walnut) is dedicated to providing children with autism an outlet to develop their peer communication skills. We have groups available for all ages, development levels and sensory preferences. Speech therapy is designed to help children communicate verbally by addressing issues such as sound production, receptive language difficulties, and expressive language deficits.
