Play Therapy
Play therapy is based on the idea that children's natural means of expression is through play, and that play is a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. In play therapy, the therapist provides a safe and supportive environment where the child can play and explore their feelings and experiences through a variety of play materials, such as dolls, toys, and art supplies. The therapist observes the child's play and may offer guidance or feedback to help the child process and understand their feelings and experiences.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is an effective treatment for people who have difficulty expressing themselves through words, as it provides a way for them to communicate and process their emotions through a visual medium. It can also be helpful for those who are experiencing stress, anxiety, or trauma, as the act of creating art can be calming and therapeutic.
Nature Therapy
Nature therapy, also known as ecotherapy or outdoor therapy, involves using nature and the outdoors as a means of promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This can involve activities such as hiking, gardening, spending time in natural environments, and engaging with nature through sensory experiences such as sight, sound, and touch.
Educational Therapy
Educational therapy is a type of therapy that is specifically focused on helping children who are struggling with learning or educational challenges. This can include children with learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or other conditions that may impact their ability to learn and perform to their full potential.

Functional Capacity Assessment
Functional capacity assessment (FCA) is a type of evaluation that determines an individual's ability to perform physical and/or mental tasks related to daily living activities. It typically involves a comprehensive evaluation of the person's physical, cognitive, and psychological abilities, and how these abilities impact their ability to perform daily life tasks.
