Remember our First Timer back in January? Well, here she is 3 months later and having a blast interacting with other children and working with our therapist on motor skills.

See more of her and other videos here.

We are thrilled that St. Paul’s Church in Darien is enabling us to bring such an innovative program to this community.

We will be having 3 weeks of fun-filled movement activities that your kids will love. Our program is designed to improve weak brain connections by using neuroplasticity and the brains innate ability to re-wire itself based on intensive stimulation.

We will incorporate exercises from various educational training including: Superbrain Yoga, Therapeeds, Ready Bodies Ready minds, INPP, Playproject, Alert Program for self-regulation, Skillastic Soccer & Basketball and many more.

Things you need to know:

• Payment of $2400 is due in full by July 1st. You can pay Ailene or Cindy at the pool if that is convenient. Otherwise, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. In addition, a weekly invoice will be e-mailed to you reflecting PT and OT group therapy hours. It will be broken down as follows : One hour of OT and one hour of PT @ 75/hour. We will be using the group CPT code of 97150. This weekly invoice for $750 will state paid in full and come via e-mail at the end of each week from billing@angelfishtherapy.com. You can self submit your bill to your flex spending or your insurance if appropriate.
• Your registration, release and health form will also come via e-mail for you to download and send back.
• We will be conducting a research project involving a quick video tape of 5 activities on day one and the same activities on day 15. We will also be performing a quick screening of reflexes, sensory motor skills and a cognitive task. The data will be compiled, ananlyzed, and hopefully published.

We are gearing up for Camp Mighty Mind.  In order to objectively notice areas of improvement of your child, please take note of the following prior to the first day of camp:

• Ability to follow multi-step directions without reminders
• Awareness of body movements: uncoordinated, bumping into things or falling
• Ability to talk while performing a motor skill like jumping and counting
• Automatically cross their hand passed the middle of body during daily tasks
• Ability to start and stop their body in an efficient manner
• Observe your child running, skipping, dancing and galloping using both sides of their body.
• Ability to draw a person with all body parts, write and draw a picture
• Lastly, does your child say “what” frequently when you talk to him

Please jot down a few notes about the above finding prior to coming to camp and review them after camp and again in September to compare.

We will invite all parents for a night of socializing, sharing and light refreshments in early October.
