ETR & AGP

The ETR program is the adult version of the AGP, with some important considerations for age-related concerns, health status and daily independence.  In the ICA we offer a comprehensive onsite physical assessment for  individuals to start the ETR. (Possibility for the consult portion to be completed remotely)

What about those with a Physical Disability (either wheelchair or other)?

We offer a very special service called Combination Therapy.  It combines the use of a very specialized device called the "Exer-rest" for short.
Brief History of the AGP™

We began a pilot project in 2002 with children with social-communication disorders such as Autism and found they required physical motor skill intervention. As well we discovered the benefits of emotional regulation through the physical -- brain based!.  We were the first in Canada to identify and work with the 6 key motor deficits in ASD's and other developmental disorders.  We authored new course for parents and paraprofessionals in April 2020 on this philosophy.
Necessity for a good ETR

After high school, resources for adults with special needs and disabilities dwindles.  We actually got our start with disabilities with adults. Our advanced experience and care for this group is unsurpassed. We are happy to help and give anyone a chance to feel better and increase their independence.
