CHildren’s Intervention Learning & Development, founded in 1993 by Sandy Palombo is a day treatment facility located in Vaughan, Ontario. We are located in the Vaughan Health Campus of Care building and we are very excited to be operating out of this facility. As a network partner to Children’s Treatment Network- CTN, CH.I.L.D. offers year round services to children diagnosed with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders. Services offered include diagnostic, assessment and treatment. Treatment programs include Social Skills, Camp programs, Parent Coaching and Training and Intensive Behavioural-Developmental Intervention.
Social Skills groups are low in ratio and created specifically for community generalization. A practical approach to teaching children how to adjust to the social world naturally.
Camp programs are offered during March Break, Summer and occasionally during Christmas Break. Camp programs always include day trips, sports play, baking, community experiences and are tailored to the child’s social needs.
Parent Coaching and Training is integral in our model. Parents are integral to the treatment team and play a vital role in all aspects of the treatment from planning, implementing to the generalization of strategies. Most often families attend our treatment center based on their involvement in our therapy.
Intensive Behavioral Intervention is the cornerstone to our program. Therapy is highly functional, natural and enjoyable for each and every child. Learning becomes effortless and fun. Therapy is best described as an opportunity to practice difficult skills with therapists that are highly skilled in making learning captivating for the child. Always seizing the teachable moment.
Intervention is about effortlessly making every opportunity a teaching opportunity!
