What Is The Intensive Treatment Program?

The Intensive Treatment Program is the oldest and most successful program of The Institutes. This is a pioneering program to develop better and more effective treatment programs.

The Intensive Treatment Program enables parents to bring their child to The Institutes to be evaluated and to receive a treatment program on a regular basis. In addition, parents receive extensive lectures and training in child brain development. Parents return home and carry out an intensive treatment program with their child and are supported in their efforts by close contact with the staff during the home treatment periods between visits to The Institutes.

The Intensive Treatment Program demonstrates what superb accomplishments are possible for brain-injured children by loving, determined, and highly informed parents.

The objective of the Intensive Treatment Program is to achieve physical, intellectual, and social growth towards normality in as many children as possible. Since this is the most intensive program offered by The Institutes, it holds the greatest chance for wellness for any individual child.

The purpose of the Intensive Treatment Program is to create treatment programs for children under conditions as close to ideal as the state of knowledge will permit and to teach those programs to parents who carry out the treatment on an intensive basis at home.

Parents are considered for this program only after they have been successful members of the Aspirant Program. Both parents must have attended the What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child Course and have received their Certification in Human Development at the Initial Parent Level and completed the Home Program Consultation.

The child admitted to the Intensive Treatment Program is seen approximately every six months.

Each of the visits is one week in length: a day of history and evaluation, two full days of lectures, and two days to learn the new program.

Each week includes:

• Full history of what has occurred since the last visit.

• Functional neurological evaluation.

• New Developmental Profile.

• Physical measurements.

• A summary of progress.

• The Lecture Series.

• A detailed sensory program is created.

• A detailed mobility program is created.

• A detailed intellectual program is created.

• A detailed physiological program is created.

• Careful instruction for the parents in how to do the new programs.

• Questions are fully answered.

• Contact for the next 6 months is outlined in detail.

The lectures provide the principles and techniques necessary to understand and carry out mobility, intellectual, physiological, and social programs designed by the staff for each child.

These lectures are carefully organized so that they become more sophisticated as the knowledge and experience of each parent grows. Parents do not require any special knowledge or education. The child’s personal staff advocate continues to monitor closely the child’s progress and ensures that all contact from the parents (reports, telephone, fax, e-mail, or mail) is handled promptly.

The unparalleled experience of the staff in treating brain-injured children combined with each family’s unique understanding of their own child results in an extraordinary bond of knowledge between the staff and the parents. This bond is enhanced by mutual respect and affection.

We have learned through a half-century of experience that an intensive program achieves the fastest results.

“The Institutes Intensive Treatment Program is the only program that I know of that really helps kids to reach their full potential. The program treats the cause, the brain injury.
