Our intensives are designed for any child or adult with special needs and disabilities, regardless of severity, who have a strong desire to make progress and learn more about their bodies. The intensives are designed to help people achieve new gross motor and somatic milestones. The intensive will explore learning key movement skills, releasing blocks and contractures in the body, and achieving a deeper internal self-awareness.

We have two rooms with a maximum total occupancy of 5-6 people. The main guest room on the 2nd floor has a pull-out trundle bed as well as a folding couch, in addition to a Queen-sized bed. The third-floor guest room has two single bunk beds.

Accommodation at the Center costs approximately $100 per night, per room. There are two rooms available.

Board is not included in the rental cost for residents. We do provide a fully equipped modern kitchen with lots of cupboard space, fridge, and freezer space to accommodate your needs. Personal fridges are available in both of our guest rooms as well.

The Center is equipped with state of the art, ultra-quiet laundry and dryer machines for our guests.

We normally recommend two 1-hour sessions a day for your child, each day, for the duration of the intensive. Rest is an important part of an intensive, so sessions are usually widely spaced apart throughout the day. There are also optional breaks on weekends. The timing of the two daily sessions can be adjusted to meet you and your child’s needs.
