Child specific services are meant to provide individualized attention to a child’s developmental progress, as part of a parent-driven process. Integrated Wellness Group believes in understanding the “whole child”. In addition to gathering information about a child’s health and physical wellness, parents and teachers are interviewed to assess a child’s strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, an observation of the child is conducted in his or her natural environment in order to obtain unbiased data regarding the child’s development and behaviors. Finally, all information is reviewed with parents and teachers in order to construct an individualized plan that enhances a child’s strengths and facilitates the development of new skills.

• Child-specific observations and assessments

• Oral and written feedback to childcare staff and parents with the goal of providing supports related to the child(ren)’s class environment, social skill development and emotional health.

Classroom services are meant to provide a “social-emotional snapshot” of the environment, communication and interactions, and behavior management techniques. It is important that classrooms provide structure and materials for enrichment that allow children to creatively and safely explore, play, and learn. Prosocial skills are developed through children’s attachment and interactions with their teachers and other adults in the building. Research demonstrates that positively-framed and consistent caregiving provides opportunities for children to learn about social rules and boundaries. Classroom services provide educators and administrators with information about how to create a space that helps children grow in their self-esteem, independence, and confidence.

Integrated Wellness Group provides various trainings to both parents and educators in the field of early childhood. Early childhood development is extremely specialized and different from other developmental periods in a child’s life. Trainings are available to the community regarding early childhood developmental stages, typical and atypical behaviors, safety planning, and behavior management. Integrated Wellness Group also provides workshops on various topics of early childhood disorders, including autism, selective mutism, developmental delays and special needs, attachment, and separation. Finally, our program can also provide parent education groups, staff leadership training, and other organizational development topics to enhance the workforce that supports the education and care of young children.
