Sessions

Grading difficulty in the moment

You can raise or lower the challenge without stopping the activity, which keeps the child engaged at the right level.

Studio

Activities linked to goals

Each activity is connected to the goals it supports, so it is clear why the child is doing it.

Alliance

Carry-over at home

Families receive a caregiver version of the day’s work, which helps new skills become part of daily routines.
