Child Development Costa del Sol

Our SHINE Therapy Care services offer your child a safe, interactive space to develop and learn. Each child will be paired one to one with a trained SHINE Therapy Assistant, under the supervision and mentorship of the SHINE Clinical therapists.

​

A SHINE Therapy Care block of support involves a minimum of 2 children and 2 Shine Therapy Assistants per 3-hour block of time. This allows your child to receive the one to one therapy support needed to achieve individual developmental goals in a socially interactive environment.

​

Your child will engage in a specialized therapeutic curriculum involving social connection through games, outdoor activities and snack time, individualized therapy input tailored to your child’s physical and language needs and exploration through sensory rich play.
