Symbiosis started the Home-based therapy option based on the individual family’s child’s unique needs and interests, with dedicated support to help wherever and whenever they need it most. Due to reasons of convenience or preference to stay due to changing family commitments, coming to the clinic may be difficult for some families. Our home-based services are specifically designed around your family’s needs and can be delivered where you need them the most. We come to your Home or community setting, maximizing convenience and focusing on building skills where your child is genuinely comfortable.
Symbiosis Team understands the needs and challenges of being a caregiver. Most caregivers are working; thus, sending your loved one to the clinic for an appointment often results in taking leave or time off. This adds unnecessary stress to caregivers as not all employers will understand the needs of being a caregiver.
Some clients require intensive therapy sessions to optimize treatment results. However, frequent traveling to the clinic can be tiring for both the client and their caregiver(s).
With the advancement of technology, we can instantly turn every home into a Behavior Consultant’s or a Therapist’s workplace. Our therapists have extensive experience conducting therapy outside the clinic, including at clients’ homes, or schools. Our therapists have extensive experience conducting therapy outside the clinic, including the child’s Home or any other facility.
