Therapy in the Interactive Environment of Animal Crossing
Evidence-based Therapy Via Interactive Spaces, Digital platforms & Games
Animal Crossing
Interactive platforms may be a beneficial space to provide therapy within for some participants by providing a digital environment to allow a participant to work towards their goals with the support of a therapist.
There’s no commitment required — we simply ask that you begin with an assessment and one session if you want to trial the service. This allows you to experience our support with complete freedom to continue or not.

Groups and Weekend Programs are delivered under an Program of Support (PoS).
This helps us provide stable, consistent group experiences while factoring in planning, therapist time, group structure, and outcomes more effectively, while giving families peace of mind around costs and scheduling.
Even if a participant misses a session, they will still be charged for the session ensuring supporting continuity, structure, and engagement for everyone involved. Read more about a PoS.
Requirements.

Set-up, Technical Issues & Reporting
Online platforms require occasional setup. Internet dropouts or technical issues may also occur. Our therapist takes notes during sessions, which is factored into the session duration. A small portion of each session will be spent on these necessary activities.
No long term commitment, If you wish to cancel at any time, let us know 48 business hours before the next scheduled session. (All Group or Weekend Programs require 2 weeks cancellation notice.)
