Miller Method

The Miller Method believes each child – no matter how withdrawn or disorganized – is trying to find a way to cope with the world. Our task is to help that child use every capacity or fragment of capacity to achieve this.

Floortime/DIR

Floortime is a relationship-based therapy for children with autism. The intervention is called Floortime because the parent or therapist gets down on the floor with the child to play and interact with the child at their level. Floortime meets children where they are and builds upon their strengths and abilities through creating a warm relationship. The goal is to excite their interests, draw them to connect to you, and challenge them to be creative, curious, and spontaneous—all of which move them forward intellectually and emotionally.

Before

A 3 year old child was with an ABA therapist for a year the child was not enjoying the therapy for 3 month the child was working on sorting and sitting next to the table.

The centre said that it is how they do it even that the child was able to do the activities from the first day.

The  clinic has two payments one 40-60 an hour to the therapist (the therapist in most cases going on the job training for 2 months and then start to work and on every 3 weeks a ABA therapist will change the program (additional cost of 180-250$)

After

FAQs

Is the therapy covered by the government? Yes, we are covered by the Ontario Autism  program and some private insurance.

Is there a difference between development therapy and behavioral therapy? Yes, there is a difference while both methods are valid methods. Development therapy deals with the development of the child. It views behavioral issues as part of the development of a child. We do not look at the chart age as the starting point. We look at the current abilities, and then seek to build the development blocks that are missing. 

Do you provide help with explaining to schools my child’s diagnosis? Yes, we provide workshops for schools and parents to teach them about the diagnosis of the child and how the child looks at the world.
