For more than 20 years, Playworks under the directions of Sandy Buttine, OTR, has been providing outcome-based pediatric therapy services in the Dallas metroplex. Our goal is to be more innovative in our approach, staying rooted to strong evidence based practices, but also offering a personal, caring family-focused environment and individually designed assistance. Collectively, we have more than

50 years of experience working to improve and change the lives of children and their families. Our focus is always on the child and his/her family. We recognize that progress in therapy does not happen exclusively in the clinic; a comprehensive approach that addresses the needs of the child and their interaction with parents and/or caregivers is the path to holistic solutions. As an independent provider, we are not constrained by corporation systematic limitations and restrictions. We take a child-by-child approach to the delivery of our services, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What can you do when your child has challenging behaviors and you feel at your wits end?

How do you use the right responses to the right behaviors in the moment?

What you need is a guide to help you understand your child’s specific and unique behaviors, AND how you can respond in the moment. But don’t worry, this won’t cost you a dime.

Since your children can struggle with so many behaviors, it is vital to have a stockpile of effective behavior responses and tools to use in the moment.

But the key, here, is finding out what specific behaviors your child is doing, understanding those behaviors, and knowing some in-the-moment strategies that work specifically with your child.

Get all this and more from my friend Dayna's free behavior workshop💪!

Playworks, pediatric therapy services in Dallas has a few openings this fall semester in their therapeutic preschool group. Our preschool group uses the DIR/Floortime frame of reference as the foundation for the group. It is a group that meets two mornings a week for 2.5 hours each session. We have openings in our Monday/Wednesday group and the Tuesday/Thursday group. Ages are 2.5 years-6 years of age. Groups are organized according to the child's individual profile. The class takes up to 7 students. We have a 1:1 ratio of child to clinician. We have had had some success getting reimbursement from insurance companies.
