Our Story

The Crystal Ladder Learning Centre (CLLC) was founded in 2014 by Executive Director Mariella Mongiovi, a local mother of twin daughters diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Along with Founding Director Wendy Savo, a special collaboration and partnership soon developed where their unique, yet complimentary perspectives in providing quality treatment services became the catalyst in the creation of the CLLC.

Depending on the situation they might need you to use other words for them to feel encouraged to communicate.

🌈Physical therapists have unique training in child development and motor control.

This expertise allows them to assess a child's motor delays and functional performance. 💙
Physical therapists work with your child, the family, and your child's school to help them:

-Engage and improve in daily routines at home and school.
-Acquire new movement skills.
-Develop better coordination and a more stable posture.
-Improve play skills, such as throwing and catching a ball with another person.
-Develop motor imitation skills (learn by copying anothers' actions).
-Increase fitness and stamina.

🧠Neurofeedback aims to promote healthy brainwav

🧠Neurofeedback aims to promote healthy brainwave patterns.

Brain cells produce electrical pulses that communicate with each other. This produces brainwaves. These brainwaves show how much brain activity is happening when we think, feel and behave in different ways.

Brainwaves change according to how you’re feeling or what you’re doing. For example, your brainwaves are slower when you’re relaxed or sleeping, and faster when you’re alert and concentrating.

In neurofeedback therapy, an electroencephalographic (EEG) machine monitors your brainwave patterns. These patterns show up on a computer screen as lines, graphs or even simple games. You can consciously control your brainwave activity to make the lines or graphs move.

🌈Children living with Autism often thrive within an organized environment. To make daily home life easier for you and your child, be consistent.

Adapt their living environment to ensure you are consistent in the way you interact with your child and how, as a family, you deal with any challenging behaviors.

Stick to a schedule with regular times for meals, any therapy sessions, preschool and bedtimes. Try to aim to keep disruptions to this routine to a minimum and prepare your child for any unavoidable changes in advance.

If possible, provide a private space at home where your child can feel secure, relax and play safely? Safety proof an area of the house by using visual cues such as colored tape, cushions or blankets that can provide a haven during any tantrums or dangerous behaviors.

🧠One of Crystal Ladder’s main focuses is to provide our children with the highest quality of Brain Training Programs.

All our Brain Training Programs focus on helping improve our children’s brain function through different protocols, softwares and exercises.
We can assure the process for each one of these programs are simple, painless and non-invasive.
Children have the opportunity to learn to alter their brain activity the same way they learn other skills, through feedback and/or practice.

Our approach is to measure brain function so that we can see the reason for their difficulties and find the right combination of Brain Training Programs designed to help on those areas.

Our group of profesionals are here to answer all your questions. Give us a call to set up your informational appointment!🧠

🌈 “Why does my child need motor skills?”

🌈 “Why does my child need motor skills?”

Children need to “understand how to move and complete tasks independently, and to be able to explore the world around them, which promotes cognitive, speech, and sensory development, and gives them confidence and independence, which promotes skills such as executive function.”

Giving children opportunities to develop an awareness of their bodies will serve them for the rest of their life. Early childhood is a critical time for learning through unobstructed play, especially outside. The tabletop work will be there for them when they are older. Strong motor skills will support their ability to sustain and attend to academic learning throughout their school journey.

The Crystal Ladder Gym can help children of all ages and different diagnosis work on improving their motor abilities💙

💡Rebound Therapy is extremely beneficial at tar

💡Rebound Therapy is extremely beneficial at targeting and challenging the vestibular system with the movement of the trampoline bed and the individual’s movement on the dynamic surface.

📎Postural, ocular-motor, and visceral responses, all of which are compensatory responses of the vestibular system, are challenged and strengthened in Rebound Therapy.

Bouncing, either actively or passively, provides a considerable amount of proprioceptive input. This is vital for participants who require high levels of proprioceptive input to know where their body is in space, as well as for self-regulation.

Looking to improve your child’s balance? Check out Rebound Therapy at The Crystal Ladder Learning Centre Vaughan and find out about more benefits💙

💡Motor Planning is the ability to conceive, plan, and carry out a skilled, non-habitual motor act in the correct sequence from beginning to end.

Motor planning difficulties are caused by problems processing sensory information and poor neural connections in the brain. In order to have efficient motor planning, an individual must be able to organiza sensory input from his body, have adequate body percept and be able to move around his environment.

Difficulty with sensory processing can lead to poor motor planning for fine, gross, and oral motor tasks (such as handwriting, jumping, and forming words, respectively).

COVID-19 UPDATE

COVID-19 Update

Our protocols and procedures for Covid-19:

As you all are aware there are screening protocols we have to follow, and our main concern is the safety and well-being of your kids and our staff. If your child is showing one or more symptoms (Sore throat, Stuffy nose/runny nose, Headache, Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, Fatigue/lethargy/muscle aches/malaise) we will be calling you to come to pick your child up and to monitor their symptoms for 24 hours before returning to the centre.

Likewise, if your kids are showing symptoms at home please have your child stay home and again monitor the symptoms before returning.

We understand this is a difficult time for everyone, but we are looking out for everyone’s safety.
