Self-Determination Program (SDP) Services

We support SDP families with neurodevelopmental, sensory-motor, and regulation-focused care—designed to build real-life skills, confidence, and participation at home, school, and in the community.

Who this is for

We’re a fit if your child is…

  • Easily overwhelmed by noise/touch/movement or has big reactions

  • Struggling with balance, coordination, posture, or endurance

  • Having trouble with attention, regulation, transitions, or “getting organized”

  • Showing delays in motor planning, timing, eye tracking, or body awareness

  • Doing “all the therapies” but still not seeing meaningful functional change


    If you’ve been told “they’ll grow out of it” or “it’s just behavior,” you’re not alone. Many kids need supports that build the brain–body foundations first.

What we do differently

Our work focuses on how the nervous system processes sensation and organizes movement, because those foundations drive regulation, attention, learning readiness, and daily functioning.

You can think of it as helping your child:

  • Feel safer and calmer in their body

  • Coordinate their body more efficiently

  • Improve stamina and postural control

  • Increase tolerance for sensory input

  • Build practical skills that carry over into real life

How SDP families typically use our services

Common SDP service formats

1) Ongoing weekly care (skill-building)

  • 1–2 sessions/week

  • Great for steady progress and consistency
    Best for: regulation, motor skill-building, sensory tolerance, coordination, attention support

2) Short-term intensive blocks (accelerated progress)

  • 2 hours a day over five days for 1-3 weeks

  • Often paired with a home plan
    Best for: jump-starting development, breaking plateaus, focused skill acquisition

3) Parent coaching + home program

  • Coaching sessions to teach you what to do at home

  • Clear routine, tools, and tracking
    Best for: carryover, consistency, parent confidence, home-based progress

  • Patients often choose to buy or rent a laser, Interactive Metronome system, EyeLights, Brain Driver, TENS, etc.

We’re happy to collaborate with your Independent Facilitator to choose a structure that fits your goals and your budget.

What this looks like in real life

Goals we commonly support

Improved ability to self-regulate during transitions and daily routines

  • Increased postural stability and endurance for seated/standing tasks

  • Improved balance, coordination, and motor planning for play and sports

  • Increased tolerance to sensory input (sound, touch, movement)

  • Improved eye tracking / visual-motor integration for reading readiness

  • Improved participation in community activities with reduced dysregulation
