Now What?

What happens when pediatric therapy runs out or is no longer appropriate? What happens after high-school or even college? What happens after you’ve done the job training program, but your young-adult with special needs continues to struggle with life skills, social skills, decision-making and problem-solving challenges. What happens when in spite of all the structured training, your young adult still lacks the skills that will support their independence?

We answer those questions with our Now What Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get my teenager an intensive?

It all begins with evaluation. We first evaluate your young adult to determine if they are a candidate for our programs and how we can help. To be effective, we must identify where in the brain the breakdown is occurring, therefore an evaluation is imperative. Please contact our intake coordinator at clientcare@therapeeds.com to discuss your teenager’s case. Please note your adolescent must be available to participate in the intake.
Can I start my intensive at any time?

Once we determine that an intensive is an appropriate intervention, we then move forward to create a program that is highly individualized and specific to your adolescent and family’s needs.

We take into consideration:

a)      Specific length of time needed (3 or 6 weeks)

b)      Specific combination of interventions/components (services to be provided in the intensive)

c)       Specific clinical team that will be the best fit your teenager’s needs and personality

Because of this, we provide you with dates of when that ‘just right’ combination is available for your family. Sometimes that might mean a waiting period, but please know that this is necessary for us to offer the absolute best service that will support the changes that you want for your young adult and family.

We work our hardest to accommodate your family’s request for dates and times of intensives, however your teenager’s clinical needs are our primary focus and we will always consider those first.
What if my teenager is in school?

Our intensive program is year-round. When we make recommendations for an intensive program, we take into consideration your teenager’s functional status in school. If it is NOT necessary, we DO NOT recommend an adolescent’s being pulled from school for an intensive. Those are students who typically come to us in afternoons or during school vacation time
