This program focuses on a strength-based approach to executive functioning skills and social skills, utilizing psychotherapeutic approaches. We do not use a behavioural principles approach to interventions, such as IBI or ABA.
Therapeutic D&D falls eligible under most private insurance for coverage as it is counselling and psychotherapy. When you have your intake session we can discuss the details of your insurance and getting a determination of eligibility completed.

Once you have decided to join us…..
It all starts with an intake assessment. Heart & Mind will contact you to schedule this intake assessment. It is virtual. This assessment determines your child's strengths and needs, and we will discuss the best fit for delivering treatment (while playing D&D). This consultation includes the child or youth if they wish to participate and their family.
Part of this intake assessment will help us determine which days of the week work best for you and your family, which DM Coach your child might work best with, if any other support people are needed during the session or if any accessibility accommodations would be helpful.
Goblets & Goblins hosts welcome intro sessions. This is a great time to see the place where you will play, meet the DMs and others, and ask any questions you may have. Stay tuned for dates and times to come!
