KidSpire Therapies’ business concept is an outpatient pediatric clinic to be designed like a house with functioning living spaces and home tools one typically sees in people’s residences. The clinic will focus on providing impressions of occupational experiences, mostly self-care and home management skills, through direct and simulated task engagement. Facilitation of memory impressions is through subtle suggestions derived from simply designing the clinic and its programs to convey the feeling of being in a “house and a member of a home.” The goal is to address home routines and self-care tasks in the closest sense to a typical home to generalize skills to the client’s natural environment easily. In addition, the business plan illustrates context-driven programs founded on evidence-based knowledge. Recent years have seen an increase in studies on contextual interventions to facilitate functional independence among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). However, its clinical and community implementation have been limited. Therefore, this innovative business concept demonstrates an integration of context-focused intervention to enhance the transfer of adaptive skills from the outpatient pediatric setting to home or the community.
