Professional Therapies

Providing behavioral training for successful interactions

Above and Beyond Caring's Professional Therapies (formerly known as Specialized Therapies) are a collection of critical therapies and services we offer to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). After an evaluation by licensed or certified professional nurses, counselors, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language therapists, and others, the delivery of Professional Therapies is carried out.

This service provides assessment and treatment by licensed or qualified experts in the areas of nursing, counseling, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language therapy, audiology, nutritional, and behavioral supports. " Treatment is provided by licensed occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, audiologists, and nutritionists as part of the professional treatments service, which also includes training and advice for the individual's LAR or other support providers.

These therapies include, but are not limited to:

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps people engage in everyday life by improving their ability to participate and/or improving the environment such that participation is more likely to take place.

Physical Therapy
Physical therapists provide treatments to help people maintain or restore their range of motion and functional capacity.

Social Services
