It is the ultimate goal of The SMILE Center to reach outside of our walls and provide comprehensive programming and support for children with special needs, their family members, and other community professionals dedicated to child development. We firmly believe in offering parent and family training. The roles of parents, caregivers, and educational personnel are critical in the therapeutic process. We promote optimal carryover by providing extensive home programming and sensory diets as well as home/school visit consultations to create sensory rich environments in the child’s natural and educational setting. We also value the importance of communicating with school-based clinician’s, educators and outside providers, and make every effort to establish an ongoing relationship with them.

Our clinical conference program continues to expand, maintaining the highest caliber of instruction and furthering the fundamental treatment models utilized at The SMILE Center. Our objective is to provide ongoing, systematically scheduled conferences that support the therapeutic growth of not only our clinicians, but also the clinicians of our community. The SMILE Center’s continuing education program helps to improve the quality of care being provided to children with special needs throughout the community and also strengthens the networking and relationships amongst therapists in our area.
