The purpose of this study is to explore the lived experiences of children with neurodevelopmental diagnoses and their caregivers with an intensive model of therapy. Research questions include: 1.) What are the perceptions of children and caregivers about intensive therapy after participating in multiple intensive therapy episodes over time? 2.) Why do caregivers choose to continue with an intensive model of therapy periodically for their child with neurodevelopmental diagnoses? 3.) What were the outcomes for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities participating in an episode of intensive therapy? Children will receive usual care during the summer intensive program and the investigators will access medical records to assess effectiveness. Children and caregivers will also be asked to participate in semi-structured interviews upon the completion of the episode of care.
