Individualized & Group Therapy
Therapy Kinections provides an individual therapist for each child that is being treated. However, sometimes, we integrate this one-on-one therapist to child ratio into a group-based environment to help with the following:
- cooperation skills
- acknowledging each other’s strengths
- peer modeling
- joint problem solving skills
- improving peer-to-peer communications
In addition to the one-on-one environment, we also provide special groups such as “Mommy and Me”, Social Skills and Life Skills to help meet children’s specific goals.

School & Home Consultation
We realize that it is important for a child to be successful in all environments ~ the playground, home and school, so we are happy to speak with family members, as well as school and daycare staff members to help bridge the gap for the child’s success. Sometimes, it is just giving suggestions for homework, and how it can be modified. Other times, we can actually go into the classroom and see if modifications need to be made within the classroom setting, such as decreasing the amount of distractions.
Community Education
We provide periodic free screenings to help families understand if there is a need for therapy services. At Therapy Kinections, we also pride ourselves in providing parent education groups, as well as free training for staff members at various daycares and private schools. We have also offer informational-based sessions with the local PTA and SEPTA associations.
Community Re-Integration
At Therapy Kinections, we provide a vital connection between the children that we treat and the communities to which they belong. Children may have delays or difficulties that impact basic social skills, and it’s important to integrate community-based services into their treatment to build these skills early in their development. For example, community integration services may include muscle exercises to improve speech and motor skills or communication therapies to encourage emotional expression and teach social boundaries. We are happy to assist families to navigate outside activities, such as scouts, sports, and music lessons, to just name a few.
TK Fun!
Throughout the year, we offer groups, such as social skills and team building. We also offer life skills groups, as well as groups for the whole family, such as Mommy and Me groups. In addition, Therapy Kinections offers camps that use themes such as beach week, sports week, wilderness week to address skills in all areas. We also offer a coffee bar, so moms and dads can relax, as well as sibling appreciation week, where we celebrate the siblings that are cheerleaders for the children who come to TK.
