HANDLE

Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency (HANDLE©) is a home based program to gently strengthen the integrated systems and ease in life.
A typical HANDLE program consists of nine sessions with the HANDLE Practitioner and roughly twelve daily activities, although each program is unique based on the clients’ needs. This is usually spread out over a six-month period, with the following steps:

    The first meeting is a non-academic assessment: this is a series of activities meant to evaluate where each person is developmentally.

  2. Next is a discussion of the individual’s profile and the HANDLE program details, followed by an explanation and demonstration of the specific HANDLE activities we will be starting with.
  3. I like to see my clients 7- 10 days after the second meeting to check-in and make sure the program and activities are going well.
  4. We then meet monthly for 5 Program Reviews.
  5. At the 6th Program review we will repeat some of the original assessment and compare the outcome. I am also happy to develop a list of activities that can be done after the program to continue progress.

This is a typical program but I believe in working with individuals to meet their specific needs.
