What is a Movement-Based and Play-Based Approach?

The Creative Strategies Therapy approach uses a variety of movement-based tools and strategies to support a child’s learning.

Our expertise includes how to support the child’s sensory processing skills, core integration, and body awareness while targeting communication skills.

Some examples of how we do it and how we make learning fun and motivating:

  • Kinesthetic cues that support 1:1 correspondence strategies such as jumping and stomping out words and sentences

  • Scavenger Hunts, Bean Bag Tosses

  • Slides and other playground equipment

  • Swings and Suisse (Yoga/Exercise) Balls

  • Outdoor environments and interactions with nature

  • Sleds, Snowball games, Water balloons

Equine Movement as a treatment tool (Hippotherapy) is currently being offered through our community partner empathia Speech therapy and autumn muckenhirn.

Equine movement is a wonderful example of a movement-based approach!
