Instilling confidence, strength and regulation in our youngest patients is essential. That's why we teamed up with the EXERSHINEkids Power Bootcamp Program. Our trained occupational therapists now offer this unique, high-intensity exercise program for kiddos who struggle with sensory processing and self-regulation disorders, as well as motor and social development challenges. These sessions teach kids how exercise can be a tool for self-regulation. They also help build community and connection while developing a strong core for foundational skills. Age ranges for groups are 5-8 years old and 8-12 years old.
