Intensive Therapeutics

Therapeutic Programs For Children, Teens and Young Adults with Disabilities
 

Welcome to Intensive Therapeutics!

We are the leading organization providing a collaborative therapeutic program for children, teens, and young adults.

For all children, we help foster emotional development and resilience by supporting each child’s ability to communicate their needs, regulate their emotions, and engage meaningfully with others. Through play-based, interdisciplinary intervention, children build confidence and social connections that are foundational for long-term mental health and well-being. 

All programming helps promote resilience by empowering children, teens and young adults to overcome challenges while engaging in meaningful, socially driven occupations and activities in a group of their peers. The intensive, collaborative model promotes confidence, independence, and accomplishment, all of which contribute to improved self-esteem and emotional well-being. 
Our client-first, expert services utilize established practices to focus on:

• Autism
• Hemiplegia
• Prevocational and Independent Living
• Everyday Kids (School, Sensory, and the In-Between)

And we do it all so that each child, teen, and young adult can reach their fullest potential!

Our Beginning

Scott Matthews, MS, OT, saw a gap in the therapy world for intensive, client-centered, occupation-based services. He envisioned a place where all children received therapy services regardless of their socioeconomic status—it would be a place without sterile walls, white coats, and beeping machines…it would be a place kids would want to go to for therapy.

In 2005, Intensive Therapeutics, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization was born. Scott would go on to develop all groups and services based on parent and caregiver recommendations and needs. Now, with a team of expert, compassionate staff, Intensive Therapeutics helps each child reach their fullest potential.
