What sparked it all.
Several years back, a family reached out with a unique challenge. Their 7-year-old, the size of a 13-month-old due to a genetic condition, was severely immuno-compromised, confining him to his home, equipped with a special air filter to avoid hospital stays. Traditional therapy in a practice filled with other children wasn’t an option—he hadn’t experienced therapy at all. Yet, over a few years, with his family’s unwavering support and involvement in therapy, he made incredible strides, learning to write, cut shapes, and explore new foods.
This experience sparked a pivotal question: “Why not?” Why not embrace online therapy for families distant from quality services, without transportation, or for children engaged by technology?
For nearly a decade, we’ve collaborated with local schools, homeschool families, and families around the world, offering innovative solutions. We’re excited about the prospect of partnering with you to continue breaking barriers in therapy.

Tips for a Successful First Online Session
Prepare Your Child
Identify your child’s interests, strengths, triggers, and your concerns. Please talk with your child about how they get to “play with [insert therapist’s name] today in a new way! You get to see them through the computer and play games together even though you are not in the same place!”
Here to Help
It is OK; you are not expected to be a tech wizard! The therapist will explain the basics to you and is used to giving clear directions. If you are camera shy, there are many ways around this. When problems arise, the therapist can help support you through minor difficulties. For anything too problematic, you and/or the therapist can connect with tech support either through Growing Healthy Seasons or Zoom.
Working as a Team
Therapy does not work in a vacuum, and working as a team is the most effective path to progress. It is expected that you as a parent or caregiver will accompany the child to each session to assist with technology, ensure materials are available, act as the therapist’s hands when needed, and observe what strategies are being utilized to provide follow-through between sessions. The therapist will give clear directions during sessions and will often send information about required materials ahead of time.
A Collaborative Process
Online therapy has been shown to be very successful, in part because of its collaborative process. Many families find that by attending/observing the sessions, they better understand the role of the therapies their child receives and what they can do to help their child daily. This, in turn, brings up more questions, suggestions, thoughts, and ideas—as well as having the potential for exponential gains! You as parents will be empowered as you learn the skills and techniques that you can then implement daily to assist your child in improving strengths and overcoming challenges.
