The Importance of Early Childhood Intervention

At Bloom Developmental Center, we believe that early intervention focused on social-emotional learning is one of the most powerful tools in supporting autistic children. Research consistently shows that the earlier a child receives support tailored to their unique developmental needs, the greater their ability to build essential skills in communication, emotional regulation, and social engagement. However, we also recognize that quality matters more than quantity when it comes to therapy. That’s why we prioritize intensive yet balanced intervention, ensuring that children receive meaningful support without overwhelming them.

Our model of intensive therapy consists of 6 to 12 hours per week with a trained clinician, combined with intentional daily playtime between parents and their child for at least 20 minutes a day. We believe that strong relationships with caregivers are the foundation of all learning, and that children naturally develop social skills through meaningful interactions at home. Unlike traditional therapy models that recommend up to 40 hours per week, we find that such extensive time in therapy away from family can be detrimental to a child’s overall development. A child's most valuable learning experiences come from feeling safe, connected, and engaged with their loved ones. Our approach ensures that children receive the structured support they need while also preserving the essential parent-child bond that fosters lifelong growth and emotional well-being.

Curious Queries

  • Unfortunately, the therapy approach that we use is not covered by insurance in the state of Texas.

    Don't let this deter you though! We create individualized monthly therapy plans that take into account your family's needs and budget!

  • Nope! Although the therapy approaches we use are proven beneficial for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADD/ADHD, and ODD, we do not enroll children based on diagnosis.

  • All children learn through play. It may look like we are "just playing" with your child; however, there is a scientific method to how we follow your child's lead, expand on their ideas, and challenge them to develop further social-emotional and language skills.

  • We are a no shoe clinic, so please be prepared to remove your shoes and have fun! We will follow your child's interests and interact together in a way that supports their development. We will also spend some time discussing your concerns and highlighting your child's strengths.
