We offer a comprehensive yoga program for both children and teenagers, as well as complimentary assisted animal therapy to use with all of the aforementioned services. You also have the option of using our wellness program in a one on one setting with a staff therapist or instructor at our clinic, or in a group class.
1. Concerns about Handwriting (via Handwriting Without Tears) — The goal of Handwriting Without Tears® is to make handwriting an automatic and natural skill for children of all ability levels. Children and teachers enjoy HWT because it makes handwriting easy and fun to learn. With less than 10 minutes of instruction a day, children can learn to write well.
2. Sensory Integration Therapy : Our sensory gymnasiums help all children, regardless of whether or not they have a disability, to develop their sensory, communication, gross and fine motor skills. In addition to providing health and fitness benefits of a regular gym, sensory gyms also enhance a child’s self-esteem and social skills.
3. Solutions for Bed Wetting (The Safe Zone): We are one of the southeast’s few incontinence (bed wetting) programs just for kids. Did you know that nearly 20% of school-aged children have problems with incontinence? Unfortunately, very few providers are helping in this area but we are one of the clinics who’ve decided to step up to the plate, and make a difference for so many kids and their families.
4. We also offer Craniosacral Therapeutic Solutions at Kinetic Kids, Inc.
5. S’cool Moves – Neuro-Sensory Activities for Academic Success — These activities are incorporated into a therapy session and can be taught as strategies to increase focus and attention during a school day. These activities flow seamlessly into the school day while supporting therapy and academic goals. Rather than TELLING children to focus, teach them HOW to focus and they will be much more successful!
6. The Alert Program: “How Does Your Engine Run” — This is a self-awareness and self-regulation program designed to increase a child’s understanding of their body’s energy level and to help regulate that energy to reach an optimal, ideal level of functioning.
7. Brain Gym — Brain Gym is an educational model that focuses on movement being a primary component to better learning. Brain Gym uses movement exercises to pinpoint specific areas in the brain to allow increased focus and attention throughout a child’s day. At Kinetic Kids, Inc, Brain Gym is used as a warm-up and throughout the session to increase attention and productivity with the child’s specific goals.
8. Therapy Dog Services — Your child can work 1-on-1 with a certified therapy dog. Research shows that therapy dogs help children in therapy in numerous ways such as increasing motivation to complete a task, confidence, attention span when working with a dog because it is much more fun, and producing a calming effect so that the child has less anxiety and fear when working towards new goals and trying new things.
9. Superflex — A social thinking curriculum that uses a comic book and superhero to teach strategies to overcome negative behaviors. Superflex helps defend Social Town by defeating the villians called Unthinkables. He does this by working with a child to learn strategies and fight off the Unthinkables inside the child’s brain. Superflex is a fun, interactive curriculum that will allow children to overcome behaviors and be more successful social beings throughout their school day and at home!
Kinetic Kids, Inc. has the ONLY customized sensory gym in the Charlotte area, helpful for kids in need of physical, occupational, and/or speech language pathology solutions!
