Abstract
This research looks at the impacts of intensive, interprofessional therapy for children with disabilities. There is very little literature currently published on this topic, although what is available generally finds that more intense therapy is more beneficial. The child who was studied was a camper at Adam’s Camp therapy camp, a week-long program that involves six hours of therapy each day with therapists from five different fields. Her progress over the week, as well as her retention of skills several weeks later, were determined by pre- and post-camp surveys sent to the mother and the therapists’ notes from during the week of camp. Her outcomes indicated that there was a great improvement of skills over a very short time frame. She showed progress in all three of her goals over the week, and her mom was especially impressed with her retention of communication skills. There is so much more research that needs to be done on this topic, but this study indicates that it is worth looking into an intensive, interprofessional approach on a larger scale.
