360 Themes!

360 themes are TLC’s monthly themes for therapy and care. Individualized TLC Care utilizes the monthly 360 theme to guide treatment sessions and parent coaching. TLC’s monthly 360 Themes have two goals that support optimizing a child’s development:

  • Create an exciting therapeutic environment with novel activities that keep children engaged and curious
  • Support parents in translating therapeutic strategies utilized by TLC Clinicians into the home and community

Explore the theme each month at TLC and see it in action on Facebook! View this month and previous month’s 360 themes to find ways to inspire play with your child!
