CME Therapy

‘What drives me as a therapist is love.

In my CME therapy sessions I work on a little bit of everything that is developing for the child in my hands.’

Fzt. Orya Akkad

The CME approach was created and developed by Chilean Physiotherapist Ramon Cuevas. The basic assumption of CME Therapy is that babies with developmental delays need to strengthen their natural healing potential. Benefits of consistently applied CME Therapy:

Activates automatic responses of functional-postural motor control.
Introduces the body parts with the effect of gravity and establishes a relationship.
Gradually progresses to distal support, exposing the child to the natural action of gravity and monitoring development.

What are the outcomes?

What should you expect from Zatay Health specialization?

Let's explore together your child's strengths and areas that need strengthening. We encourage you to use our Program Matching Tool and identify options based on what your child is experiencing.

Once you register your child for our program, they attend weekly sessions with our therapists. Our evidence-based play and therapy approaches address a variety of conditions including Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia), Autism, Anxiety, Motor Development Delays, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, and Neuropsychiatric and Genetic conditions.

We plan the process together from the beginning to the end and monitor the development through our interdisciplinary work. Their skills and the goals we set will continue to develop over time. Growing up is a painful path, so we attach great importance to periodic follow-ups throughout development.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child needs Sensory Integration?

If you notice that your child has trouble interacting with others or managing their emotions, or may have developmental delays, occupational therapy may be right for them. However, every child is different, so we recommend contacting with us.

If my child has special needs, can he/she also participate in Therapeutic Hammock (Aerial) Yoga classes?

There are specific behavioral goals that a child must meet in an aerial yoga class in order for each student and staff member to have a safe and beneficial experience. Depending on your child's specific needs, they may need to remain in occupational therapy until their behavior meets the required expectations.

How is the initial evaluation process done?

The initial assessment measures problem behaviors, adaptive skills, sensory processing and executive functioning. When you book an assessment, we will ask you to complete an intake form. Once your form has been received and reviewed, we will contact you via email for insurance verification and proceed with the assessment. This assessment will be a comprehensive assessment consisting of standardized tests, observations, reflex assessment and parent report measures. A meeting will then be scheduled for a full review of our findings.
