Developmental Disabilities

You’ve tried it all, and yet –

You’re still looking for something new – different – meaningful.

There are so many simultaneous emotions – frustration, anger, confusion, depression – and I’m not talking about your child.

I’m talking about you!

You’re fed up with feeling powerless because so much doesn’t work.  And, understandably, when you’ve exhausted all possibilities the future seems hopeless.

Occasionally, you find something that makes your child feel better.

And when you find it, your world lights up!

Drama Therapy for developmental disabilities can create new meaningful connections for your child.

It’s one of those few things that just works. It’s nurturing, soothing, and fun!

A moment of pause.

Maybe your child just needs a moment to feel and connect with something deep inside.

It may be the special hug from a stuffed animal friend who understands exactly how to respond at the right moment – or maybe it’s taking an imaginary trip to Disney where anything is possible in role play.

This is what drama therapy is all about!

Whatever your child needs, I’m here – for both of you.

Drama Therapy has significant benefits for executive function, cognitive and behavioral awareness, and emotional regulation. And because I use play as a foundation for therapy, even kids with short attention spans can focus on having a great time!

I understand how to find the right balance between healthy stimulation and taking a step back to calm the nerves.  When physical mobility is limited, imaginative play can enrich the soul.

Whatever the cause of your child’s disability, all children love to play – it might simply take an individualized approach and finding out what life looks like on their terms.

Uplifting the mood is possible at all levels of functionality.

The important thing for any child – in truth, any person – is love!

Love lives at the center of everything we do!  And it’s the foundation for a great therapeutic relationship and compassionate development.
