Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will my insurance cover Teletherapy?
   Most insurances cover Teletherapy, including many BCBS plans. Community Mental Health is not currently covering Teletherapy in the Metro Detroit counties, but this could change in the future.
2. How old does my child have to be to participate?
   Any age! If a child is young or active, the therapy session will be geared towards “parent training”. The therapist will provide materials and coach the parents to implement the goals and provide feedback.
3. Do kids find it boring?
   No! Our Teletherapy website offers a variety of picture cards and we always incorporate games to keep clients engaged. Kids also love having the attention of their parent and the person on the other side of the screen. It’s all about them!
4. What do I need to use Teletherapy?
   You will need internet connection, a computer or tablet with a camera, microphone, and speakers. Headsets are not required.
5. How will I access the platform?
   Your therapist will send you an email and you will make a free account. When it is time for your session, you will receive another email with a link to the session, you will put in your password, and you will be connected with your live therapist.
6. What if I live outside of Michigan?
   Due to state licensing requirements, we are only able to provide therapy to residents of Michigan.

Every child’s brain is equipped with a remarkable ability known as neuroplasticity—the capacity to adapt, reorganize, and form new neural connections in response to experiences and learning. This adaptability is especially potent during early childhood, making timely intervention crucial for children facing developmental challenges, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

In a recent discussion, Tia Moss and Kathleen Lewandowski, Regional Discipline Directors at MetroEHS Pediatric Therapy, emphasized the significance of early intervention and the role of neuroplasticity in shaping a child’s developmental trajectory.

Understanding Neuroplasticity in Early Childhood

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt throughout life. In early childhood, this adaptability is at its peak, with the brain forming over a million new neural connections every second. These connections lay the foundation for essential skills such as language, social interaction, and problem-solving.

The Importance of Early Intervention

Research consistently shows that early diagnosis and intervention for autism can lead to significant improvements in communication, social skills, and overall development. Intervening during the brain’s most malleable stages allows therapists to harness neuroplasticity effectively, promoting positive behavioral and cognitive changes.

Creating an Environment That Fosters Brain Development

To optimize neuroplasticity, it’s essential to provide children with stimulating environments that encourage exploration and learning. Engaging in play, encouraging movement, and stimulating the senses can all contribute to healthy brain development . Such environments support the formation of new neural pathways, reinforcing learning and skill acquisition.

Supporting Families Through Early Intervention

MetroEHS Pediatric Therapy is dedicated to helping families navigate the journey of early intervention. Their team of professionals offers comprehensive services, including ABA therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and more, tailored to meet each child’s unique needs.
