Iva Petkova — Center for Child Development
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.

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.
Learn more →Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
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
Our space includes three main therapy zones: an occupational therapy room, an ABA room, and a speech therapy room. The environment is organized, safe, and designed so that the child can take part calmly, predictably, and with clear structure.
One team, one shared structure
The center has three therapy areas and a virtual coordinator who supports organization and communication. 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.

An exceptional place that offers professional support, understanding, and an individual approach to both children and parents. We see real progress, and we can apply the advice and guidance we receive at home too.
After six months of wandering between different specialists, we met Iva. Today, three years later, the difference is enormous — the result of consistent, diligent work, professionalism, and clearly set goals.
She puts her heart and soul into working with children. Our child attends the center willingly, and the feedback after every session is thorough and helpful.
I have consulted with Iva about both of my children — extremely competent and attentive, with a wonderful approach. Don't hesitate to reach out to her at the slightest doubt.
This is the place that has helped my son the most with his development and with overcoming his deficits. All the specialists here are exceptionally motivated, above all, to help the children.
The center is wonderful — they work with the children professionally and with great love, and most importantly, the results don't take long to show. We are extremely satisfied; our child has made significant progress, not to mention all the recommendations and guidance they gave us back when we were at the very start, most frightened and confused by our child's diagnosis. This is the place.
