Preschool Autism Day Treatment
Interdisciplinary treatment individualized for each child
St. David’s Center Preschool Autism Day Treatment is offered during morning and afternoon sessions on our campus in Minnetonka, at Harley Hopkins Family Center, and for East African children diagnosed with autism, at our early intervention center in Minneapolis, the Harman Center for Child & Family Wellbeing.
As the Regional Greenspan Floortime Training Center, our staff treats each child using this proven development-, relationship-, and play-based intervention (Greenspan Floortime/DIR Development – Individual Differences – Relationship), while also utilizing the SCERTS framework (Social Communication – Emotional Regulation – Transactional Supports) to inform assessment and treatment.
Our interdisciplinary approach leads to outstanding results. Children benefit from the collaboration of mental health therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Therapeutic suites designed by our team are comprised of an interconnected classroom and occupational therapy gym, specifically designed around the sensitivities of children with ASD.
