  • Potty training
  • Physical aggression
  • Oppositional behavior (ODD)
  • Speech and communication
  • Social skills
  • Getting ready for school

The approach

Sessions are play-based and built around the child's interests and daily routines. Achieving Stars Therapy calls this Connection over Control.

Parent training is part of every program.
