About Ergotreatment
The founders of Ergotreatment spent years refining the most effective techniques from two leading clinical traditions — and turned them into 10-minute daily routines any parent can run at home.
Where the OT-Parent Method Began
Early in my career I had the good fortune of working closely with two clinicians who each excelled in a distinct discipline. One was a specialist in Sensory Integration — deeply attuned to how a child's nervous system interprets movement, touch, and sensation. The other was an expert in Applied Behavior Analysis and Intensive Behavioral Training, skilled at building consistent, reinforced learning sequences that children could generalize into everyday life.
They worked in separate rooms, with separate protocols. And both got results. But one afternoon, a parent said something that stopped me: "Is there any way my child could benefit from both of what you're each doing?"
That question became an experiment. We designed a combined routine — sensory preparation first, then structured behavioral learning — and introduced it to that family. Within a month, the child's progress was faster than either method had produced alone. Behavior was more stable. Generalization was stronger. The family felt equipped rather than dependent.
That was the proof of concept for what would become the OT-Parent Method. We founded Ergotreatment to bring this integrated approach to every parent who cannot — or should not have to — wait for a weekly clinic appointment to see progress in their child. The Playbooks series is the result: condensed, evidence-informed daily routines that give parents the practical benefits of a "double session," without needing an OT degree to run them.

Ergotreatment was founded by Stelios Chountalas and Stratos Papageorgiou. To bring the OT-Parent Method to life, they lead a specialized clinical team of experts to ensure every playbook meets the highest clinical standards of intervention for children ages 2–18.

The OT-Parent Method
Most approaches for children with sensory, behavioral, or developmental challenges ask parents to choose: Sensory Integration or behavioral intervention. We believe that is a false choice — and the clinical evidence supports combining both.
Sensory Integration
Developed by Dr. A. Jean Ayres, Sensory Integration therapy helps children regulate how their nervous system processes sensory input — touch, movement, sound, and proprioception. A regulated sensory system is the foundation for learning and behavior.
ABA / Intensive Behavioral Training
Applied Behavior Analysis provides structured, reinforcement-based sequences that build skills systematically. IBT applies these principles in focused, high-frequency sessions that accelerate skill acquisition and generalization into daily life.
Why 10 minutes — and why at home?
Research consistently shows that short, frequent practice outperforms long, infrequent sessions for skill development in children. More importantly, parent-mediated intervention — where a caregiver delivers structured activities in the child's natural environment — produces stronger generalization than clinic-only therapy. Every OT-Parent Playbook is structured to take no more than 10 minutes per day, uses household materials, and follows the same dual-method sequence our clinical practice is built on. You do not need a therapy degree. You need a clear protocol and daily consistency.
