What is The CORE Method?
The CORE Method is a specialized, whole-child approach to pediatric therapy that focuses on supporting the foundational skills essential for development and everyday function.
By combining occupational therapy, speech therapy, comprehensive evaluations, and specialized therapeutic techniques, our team develops individualized treatment plans tailored to each child's unique needs.
Our approach focuses on four key areas: Coordination, Optimization, Regulation, and Executive Function, helping us look beyond individual challenges and address the child as a whole.
The Four Pillars of CORE
C
Coordination
Gross Motor • Fine Motor • Ocular Motor
O
Optimization
Low-Level Laser Therapy • Vagus Nerve
R
Regulation
Sensory Integration • Reflex Integration
E
Executive Function
Executive Functioning • Visual Perceptual Skills
Our CORE Intensive Programs & Services
Our CORE Intensive Programs provide individualized, focused therapeutic experiences designed to address each child's unique developmental needs through comprehensive evaluations and specialized interventions.
CORE Comprehensive Evaluation
2-Hour Evaluation
An in-depth evaluation designed to better understand your child's developmental strengths, challenges, and individual needs. Findings help guide personalized recommendations and treatment planning.
Traditional Intensive
One Week
Five consecutive days of focused, individualized therapy, with two-hour sessions each day.
10 Therapy Hours
Extended Intensive
Six Weeks
Five two-hour Friday sessions across six weeks, with the sixth Friday reserved for make-up sessions.
10 Therapy Hours
Both intensive programs include a CORE Comprehensive Evaluation. A CORE Comprehensive Evaluation is also required before incorporating low-level laser therapy into regular weekly OT or speech therapy sessions.
Specialized Therapeutic Approaches
The CORE Method incorporates specialized therapeutic techniques selected to complement each child's individualized treatment plan.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Also known as photobiomodulation, low-level laser therapy is a noninvasive technique that uses specific wavelengths of light. This approach may be incorporated into individualized treatment plans when clinically appropriate.

Primitive Reflex Integration
Primitive reflexes are automatic movement patterns that emerge early in development. Our therapists assess these patterns and their potential relationship to motor coordination, sensory processing, and functional skills. Individualized movement-based activities may be incorporated based on each child's evaluation findings.
