Our approach

We are strengths-based, playful, and deeply relational-where every client is seen, understood, and empowered.

Our approach blends the neurobiological principles of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) with the relational focus of DIRFloortime®, viewing sensory processing and communication as bridges between the brain, body, and relationships.

What our families say

Real stories from parents and educators who’ve seen the difference.

every single person we’ve met at the clinic has been so kind, thoughtful, and supportive. You’ve all created such a warm, welcoming space, and we’re just so grateful for everything you do.
N.H.Parent
ITS has been the one place where he can walk in as himself and be welcomed exactly as he is. For our family, that has meant everything.
S.Y.Parent
Irvine Therapy Services are so much more than incredible Therapists. They helped my son find a friend, got him with a fitness coach (who gets him), guided us to the right school and supported us during a family tragedy.
Margaret MarcusParent
We are happy about our son’s progress and he is most certainly sad to graduate. The sensory gym has always been his “happy place” where he came in many times with lots of feelings and finished sessions regulated and happy.
L.K.Parent
Jennie, Aparna, Stacey, Amanda, and Carina are the patient, non-judgemental, knowledgeable, professional, collaborative and fun specialists whom we have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you for helping my child to thrive!
