Out of State & Out of Country Therapy

Out of state /
Out of Country Programs

Over the past decade, we’ve seen a steady rise in clients seeking intensive, out-of-state therapy, with many traveling from across the globe. In 2024 alone, we served families from 20 countries and numerous states. As demand continues to grow, we’ve refined our processes to better support these diverse needs. As our executive director, Maude Le Roux, travels globally to train other professionals and families, clients come to us for a variety of reasons and diagnoses. The individualized intensive programs are offered within the scope of the many programs detailed on our website. Feedback from families has consistently highlighted the profound benefits of stepping away from their everyday environments. This focused, immersive experience allows them to deeply engage with their healing process, free from the usual distractions of daily life.

Initial Process:

Contact: Email [email protected] to initiate the process
Consultation: A virtual call will be scheduled to assess the fit between the client and our program
Clients: We offer programs for children as well as for adults
Next Steps: If moving forward, a packet of information will be sent for completion
Scheduling: Our scheduling manager will coordinate the best timing based on the client’s and our availability
Agreement: A commitment agreement will be signed
Accommodations: We can connect families to discounted accommodation options through established partnerships

Intensive Program

Tailored Approach: The program is personalized based on the client’s profile
Evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation may occur on the first day, followed by immediate immersion in intensive programming
Duration: The program lasts 2-3 weeks, with daily sessions ranging from 3-5 hours, including scheduled breaks
Therapies: The program may include a mix of therapies such as Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Therapy, Tomatis Sound Training, DIRFloortime®, and more, depending on individual needs
Family Involvement: Parents are encouraged to participate in sessions for a deeper understanding and to enhance carryover at home
Consultations: Regular check-ins will update progress and adjust goals
Session Recordings: Some sessions are recorded and reviewed by Maude Le Roux, OTR/L, with a summary sent to families 30-45 days post-program

After the intensive program:

Home Integration: Families or adult clients are trained on techniques and home programs to ensure ongoing progress
Follow-Up: If an evaluation was done, a consultation will take place within two weeks of returning home
Ongoing Support: Follow-up consultations are scheduled based on the client’s needs, with local licensed professionals handling ongoing care in their home team
Mentoring: Families and home-based professionals will decide if further mentoring or a return visit is necessary
International Clients: For clients outside the U.S., we recommend involving local professionals in follow-up calls
Return Visits: Return visits for booster sessions or further intensive care can be scheduled every 3-6 months, with annual “booster” sessions for some families. Multiple families feel that one time is sufficient with carry over in their home country or home state

Client / Family Concerns:

Will the program be too intense for me or my child?

While the program is designed to be intensive, it’s also engaging, playful, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and preferences. The program considers age, profile, and individual goals, with regular breaks to ensure balance. For children, it feels like a fun, focused playtime with lots of one-on-one attention. For adults, we emphasize building rapport and open communication to ensure a supportive experience.

What if my child tends to have meltdowns or exhibits challenging behaviors?

We understand that strong behaviors can occur, but our experienced team is skilled in managing them. We utilize trauma-informed care and work closely with each client to help them feel calm and supported. Our approach is always respectful and tailored to the individual’s profile, allowing us to address these challenges with empathy and effectiveness.

What if my child or I get too tired to complete the program?

Although the program lasts 3-5 hours per day, most of our activities are designed to energize and engage the brain. Fatigue may be felt later in the evening or toward the end of the program, but we’ve carefully planned the schedule to ensure it is manageable. To date, we’ve never had a client unable to complete the program, unless due to illness or an unforeseen family situation.

What is expected of me when bringing my child?

We encourage parents to actively participate in the sessions whenever possible. This allows for deeper insight into their child’s needs and techniques that can be applied at home. If siblings are traveling with the family, we’ll adjust accordingly to make sure everyone’s needs are considered. Our center offers a wealth of expertise, providing parents with valuable information, strategies, and home program tips to support their child’s ongoing progress.

Our main office is located in Glen Mills, PA; a half hour from Philadelphia. Our satellite office is located in Orefield, PA. There are plenty of local hotels in the area to make it convenient for you to reach either of our offices. Based on feedback from other clients, we recommend staying at any of the hotels listed here.

We’re finally back home in Indonesia! Our experience has been incredibly eye-opening, especially seeing how the 100% full-time approach worked with my son and learning how to better manage some of his behaviors. We’ve already noticed meaningful changes since our time in Glen Mills, even within the first week. For example, he was able to open heavy hotel doors by himself—something he struggled with before and even hurt his finger doing. By the second week, he swam two full laps of freestyle without needing to stop for a breath after every two strokes. It’s so exciting to see these changes, especially because improvements in physical skills often come first, and that’s a big sign of progress across other areas.

Over the years, we’ve tried various Floortime approaches, including visits to other centers in the USA, but this is the first time we’ve felt like we’ve truly made progress. We’re learning how to let him lead the play without forcing demands on him, and it’s been a game-changer. Looking back, I can see how much we pushed our own ideas in the past. This time, he’s really been able to explore his own interests and is now more open to our suggestions. Play has always been a big goal for him, but it’s been tough to get right. In the past, we often got stuck in repetitive play, and that always worried me because play is such an important reflection of a child’s development. This time, though, we’ve had so many fun, spontaneous moments—he moved from one play activity to another, from room to room, and it’s been so exciting to see him so engaged.

One highlight for me was when the Floortime therapist showed me some self-assurance techniques and simple scripts to help him through situations. He picked them up so quickly and even started using them at home right away! His shadow teacher is also excited to try these techniques at home, and we’re looking forward to discussing them more in our upcoming Zoom consultation.

Another incredible moment happened during our last two sessions with the Occupational Therapist. For the first time, he started pretending and coming up with imaginary play scenarios! He was flying on a magic carpet, surfing, and recreating scenes from his favorite games like Toon Blast. He was able to jump from one idea to the next, and I couldn’t help but join in the fun. It’s amazing to see him being so imaginative and open to new ideas—something we hadn’t seen before. We’ve also noticed big improvements in his language. By the second week, he was quoting lines from Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom and naming landforms like mountains, tectonic plates, and plateaus! His shadow teacher confirmed this was his first time doing this, and it’s so exciting to know he’s absorbing so much during his educational sessions. His language keeps improving, and I truly feel like something is reorganizing within him.

The combination of play, motor planning exercises, IM, and Tomatis therapy has been incredible. We’re excited to continue supporting him at home and can’t wait to see where this progress takes him. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. I’ve copied his shadow teacher and other members of his support team so we can all stay aligned and continue supporting his progress.
