Therapy for children with a plan, feedback, and measurable progress
A structured approach in which every child has an individual plan, every session is prepared, and every step of progress is recorded. We work transparently, together with parents and under external supervision.

We help children aged 0–7 and their families with developmental difficulties. Everything begins with a detailed individual consultation led personally by Iva Petkova.
Three principles behind every session
Our work is built around three core principles — not as marketing slogans, but as a daily practice we maintain deliberately.
Structure, not improvisation
Every child has an individual plan with short- and long-term goals. Every session is planned in advance — which difficulties, how many repetitions, what intensity. Every step of progress is measured. External supervisors periodically check the quality of the work.
→ About the individual consultationTransparency, not guesswork
You receive written feedback after every session in the child's personal folder. You have permanent access to the archive. Periodic meetings with parents to review progress. Software that objectively tracks the goals achieved in real time.
→ Meet the teamPartnership, not delegation
You are invited to attend your child's sessions. You receive concrete guidance for work at home. Systematic training for parents — including those who are not our clients. Coordination with the kindergarten and external specialists.
→ What we offerTypical situations in which parents reach out to me
If you have a concern about your child's development, the beginning is always the same — a clear assessment and a concrete plan.
The child speaks little or cannot express themselves clearly.
Has strong emotional reactions — tantrums, refusals, difficulties with transitions.
Is constantly in motion and struggles to hold their attention.
Accepts a limited range of foods or feels strong discomfort with certain clothes.
Has difficulties with motor skills, balance, and coordination.
Struggles to acquire new self-care skills.
Individual consultation
Before any therapy at the center comes a detailed two-hour consultation that I conduct personally. Afterward you receive a written plan within 7 working days — with guidance, priorities, and recommendations for the next steps.
- A two-hour meeting led personally by Iva Petkova
- Preparatory materials (anamnestic questionnaire and sensory profile)
- Real-time observation of the child
- A written plan within 7 working days
- Online or in person at the office
- No commitment to therapy
Therapies at the center
After the initial assessment, if needed, we refer the case to the appropriate therapist from the team. We work in three directions:
Occupational therapy
Work on sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, everyday skills, and independence.

Structured work on attention, following instructions, communication, and acquiring new skills.
Learn more →Speech therapy
Development of speech, comprehension, and functional communication.
Learn more →An environment made for children
Bright, safe, well-organised rooms where every child feels calm.
One team, one shared structure
The center has three therapy teams plus coordination. All follow the same structure and are trained in the same behavioral principles. Even if a therapist changes, the child does not lose momentum.
All work is under external supervision. The entire team regularly undergoes international training and qualifications.

We were given direction and concrete steps. For the first time in months I feel I know what to do.
The play-based approach took the pressure off both the child and me. We have real progress.
I stopped reacting impulsively. I was given structure, and it changed our daily life.

The first step is always the same — an individual consultation with me. It's where you'll receive a clear assessment, a concrete plan, and direction on what comes next.
