At Roots to Blooms, we believe that every child’s growth is a journey, and their potential to rise is inherent. We utilize an Assent-Based approach, which emphasizes gradual, personalized progression toward developmental milestones, empowering each child to reach their full potential. Our approach integrates holistic care, where therapy focuses on supporting the child’s physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual well-being. This model is child-led, providing an individualized path that ensures meaningful, sustainable progress in the natural environment.

• Physical Health Integration: At Roots to Blooms, we emphasize physical health to support all areas of development. Activities that promote fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and overall wellness are incorporated, along with family routines focused on exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

• Emotional and Mental Well-Being: Our Assent-Based approach fosters emotional regulation, self-awareness, and positive coping strategies. Children learn to express emotions, manage stress, and build resilience in a way that aligns with their natural needs.

• Social and Communication Skills: We integrate speech and occupational therapy to help children develop social and communication skills. Through real-world interactions with peers, family, and community members, children build relationships, navigate social situations, and enhance their communication abilities.

• Spiritual and Cultural Support: We understand that each child’s identity is shaped by their cultural and spiritual beliefs. At Roots to Blooms, we honor and integrate these aspects into therapy, ensuring that children’s spiritual and cultural backgrounds are respected and incorporated into their holistic care plan.

• Therapy in Real-World Settings: Services are provided in the child’s natural environment, whether at home, school, or in community spaces. This ensures that therapy is directly relevant to the child’s everyday life, making it easier to generalize learned skills to real-world scenarios.

• Contextual Learning: In these natural settings, children have opportunities to practice skills in context—whether it’s engaging with family members, solving problems at school, or navigating community spaces. These real-world experiences are invaluable in fostering independence and ensuring that therapy feels integrated into their daily life.
