DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR CHILD?
You know your child is capable… but some things feel harder than they should.
"Has difficulty sitting upright or maintaining posture"
"Appears clumsy, uncoordinated, or avoids physical activity"
“Struggles to use both hands together (bilateral coordination)”
“Has trouble learning new motor tasks (motor planning)”
"Struggles with handwriting, coloring, or using scissors"
"Gets frustrated easily or shuts down during tasks"
"Has difficulty with transitions or changes in schedules"
"Avoids playground equipment or sports"
"Has difficulty focusing, staying on task, or regulating emotions"
"Tires quickly during schoolwork or fine motor tasks"
WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON?
When the foundation isn’t strong, everything feels harder.
Children rely on strong foundational systems to support everyday tasks like sitting, writing, playing, and focusing.
When there are challenges such as:
-
Motor delays
-
Neuromuscular weakness
-
Impaired postural control
-
Poor coordination
-
Difficulty with bilateral integration (using both sides of the body together)
-
Retained primitive reflex patterns
…it can impact how efficiently and confidently a child moves, learns, and engages in daily life.
Understanding Primitive Reflexes
Primitive reflexes are automatic movement patterns present at birth that should integrate as the brain matures.
When these reflexes remain active, they can interfere with:
-
Core strength and posture
-
Handwriting and fine motor control
-
Coordination and balance
-
Speech and language development
-
Visual-motor integration
-
Emotional regulation
-
Attention and focus
…it can impact how efficiently and confidently a child moves, learns, and engages in daily life.
If the foundation is unstable, higher-level skills like writing, attention, and coordination will continue to feel difficult—no matter how much practice a child gets.
Traditional once-a-week therapy often isn’t always enough to create lasting change in the nervous system in a timely manner. Many children benefit from a more intensive approach to develop skills through neuroplasticity and high repetition of functional skills.
Our intensive model provides:High-frequency repetition to strengthen neural pathwaysConsistent daily input to support motor learningFocused intervention targeting foundational movement patternsAccelerated progress compared to traditional modelsIndividualize treatment plans for explicit and intentional targets
Instead of working around the challenge, we directly target the systems that are causing it for your child specifically

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Summer Occupational Therapy Intensives at Gabriel Therapy Group
What is an Occupational Therapy Intensive?
An Occupational Therapy Intensive is a short-term, high-frequency therapy model where your child receives daily therapy sessions over a 2-week period.
Instead of once-a-week sessions, this approach provides:
-
Increased repetition
-
Consistent support
-
Focused intervention
This allows us to target foundational skills more efficiently and create meaningful progress in a shorter period of time.
What are primitive reflexes and why do they matter?
Primitive reflexes are automatic movement patterns present at birth that help infants survive and develop.
As the brain matures, these reflexes should integrate.
When they remain active, they can interfere with:
-
Posture and core strength
-
Handwriting and fine motor skills
-
Coordination and balance
-
Attention and focus
-
Emotional regulation
Our program targets the integration of these reflexes to support more efficient movement and learning.
Will I be involved in the therapy process?
Yes—and this is a key part of our program.
We include:
-
Parent education during sessions
-
Weekly coaching sessions (Fridays)
-
Home program guidance
Our goal is to empower you with tools and strategies so progress continues beyond the clinic.
Are consultations available before committing?
Yes! We offer consultations (virtual or in-person) to:
-
Discuss your concerns
-
Determine if your child is a good fit for this therapeutic approach
-
Answer your questions
What is included in the cost?
The $2,500 investment includes:
-
Comprehensive evaluation and case history
-
Individualized plan of care
-
15 hours of direct therapy
-
Daily individualized sessions
-
Weekly parent coaching sessions
-
Home exercise program and recommendations
-
End-of-program resources
What should my child bring each day?
We recommend bringing:
-
A small snack and water
-
Comfortable clothing for movement
-
Any necessary personal items
Your child’s plan of care will be discussed prior to the first day to allow for planning on what all to bring. Sometimes, items from home will be requested to personalize the skill and allow for functional carryover outside of the therapy sessions.
Why choose an intensive instead of weekly therapy?
Weekly therapy is helpful for maintenance and gradual progress, but some children need a more focused approach to move forward.
Intensives are ideal because they:
-
Build stronger neural pathways through repetition
-
Allow for faster skill development
-
Reduce gaps between sessions
-
Target root challenges instead of just symptoms
Many families see more noticeable progress in 2 weeks of intensive therapy than in several months of weekly sessions.
Can this help with handwriting and fine motor skills?
Yes. Many children struggle with handwriting due to underlying challenges such as:
-
Weak core and postural control
-
Poor hand strength or coordination
-
Difficulty with bilateral coordination
-
Retained reflexes impacting hand function
By addressing these foundational areas, we often see improvements in:
-
Pencil grasp
-
Letter formation
-
Endurance
-
Overall confidence with writing tasks
What does a typical session look like?
Each 90-minute session includes:
-
Targeted therapeutic activities based on your child’s goals
-
Movement-based and functional skill development
-
A mid-session break for snack and parent education
-
Time for questions and guidance
Every session is customized to your child’s needs.
Can my child participate in more than one session?
Yes. Children can enroll in back-to-back sessions for continued progress.
We recommend:
-
No more than 6 consecutive weeks at a time
Your therapist will guide recommendations based on your child’s needs.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child is different, but families often report:
-
Improved coordination and strength
-
Better posture and endurance
-
Increased confidence
-
Improved participation in school and play
-
Reduced frustration with daily tasks
Our goal is meaningful progress that carries over into everyday life.
What happens after the intensive ends?
At the end of the program, you will receive:
-
A home exercise program
-
Recommendations for continued support
-
Option for follow-up consultations
-
Guidance for next steps (if needed)
Who is this program best suited for?
This program is ideal for children who:
-
Have motor delays or delayed milestones
-
Struggle with handwriting or fine motor skills
-

-
Have poor posture or fatigue easily
-
Struggle with using both hands together (bilateral coordination)
