Whether it be in your home, at your child’s school, or in our clinic - we love spending that one on one time with our kiddos and their families.
All of our treatment sessions are built uniquely for your child & with their specific goals in mind.
Utilizing the principles of Ayers Sensory Integration Theory (ASI), our sessions are packed with movement, muscle work, and touch experiences that create just the right amount of challenge, provide multiple opportunities for success, and facilitate problem solving.
We believe in child driven therapy. This means we do not force your child to do activities they do not want to. Instead, we follow their lead, listening to their interests, while gently making adjustments to the activities they are interested in to ensure we work towards their goals.
Aside from developing highly effective treatment plans, our top priority is to build a trusting, safe friendship with your child. Children who feel safe are more likely to take risks, which is essential for skill development.

When you come into the clinic for your visit, normally I’ll start by checking in with you, the parent, and discuss any recent challenges or trends you have noticed that I could work on in our session.
Next, you can either hang out in the waiting room, or join us in the session (brownie points!), I’ll switch the focus to your child, connect with them, assess their engine level, and proceed with the session.
Chances are I will talk back and forth with you while I treat your child to explain things, get a better overall understanding of all the moving pieces, and connect with you - because you are a part of the team too!
Once our time is up I will ask if you have any other questions & send you on your way. Each session is about an hour long. I will spend 50 minutes with your child, then reserve 10 minutes at the end to go over what we worked on with you.
If you would prefer me to see your child at school, I can contact their teacher to pinpoint the best time for me to see them, minimizing the amount of academic time missed.
At our agreed time, I will take them to another area in the school where we will work on their individual goals. Everything we work on in our gym can be adapted for a school setting.
Depending on their goals, I can also work with them in their classroom to help them problem solve, assist, or facilitate the necessary skills for certain classroom activities.
Seeing your child at school also gives me the opportunity to talk with their teacher and piece together the reasoning behind their challenges.
After my visit I will send you progress pictures via text, in addition to sending monthly progress emails & having phone conversations.
Home sessions can be the most interactive of all our treatment sessions. Everything we work on in our gym can be adapted to work in a home setting.
If it is best for your child, we can work on their goals in their room, but most of the time we work in a common room. You can either join us as we work & play (highly recommend!), or watch along.
There is a lot of parent coaching that happens during home sessions, so the more involved you are the better!
Sessions are an hour long, 50 minutes of therapy plus 10 minutes for us to talk.

We love Michaelene and Children in Motion! She has worked with our son who is on the autism spectrum for quite some time now. She has helped him to understand and recognize his “engine” and ways to regulate himself.
It is a long and incremental process but she is very patient with us. She has worked hard to recognize his needs and push him to the next level... also seeing when we need to include additional strategies, giving helpful advice.
It’s obvious that she really loves and cares for her clients.

You are committed to your child's developmental journey & value working as a team.
You don't take life too seriously - we have a tendency to play silly imaginary games & laugh along the way (when appropriate of course).
You like to keep it real. We don't like to sugar coat things around here - we're salt of the earth kind of people!

Yes, I have a medicaid number & I am currently working with the Amerigroup CMO.
We prefer you to be a part of the session, but sometimes space is needed to work on specific goals.
