Abilities Center staff have been trained to offer this program under the supervision of Richard Solomon, M.D., the founder of the P.L.A.Y. Project model.

Early, intensive intervention is the key to success. Brain research indicates that poor speech, language, motor, or sensory skill development can lead to learning and behavior issues later on. Speech-language, physical and occupational therapy can help children achieve their maximum potential by building a strong foundation on which to learn new skills. The earlier that intervention takes place the better, as the brain is just developing and new skills emerging. For more information or to have your child assessed by qualified professionals, call your local school district or contact the Abilities Center today.
