The 4 Core Values of White Glove Early Intervention

Sometimes it takes more than a big heart to shape little minds. Numerous happy parents observing the unbelievable progress with White Glove Early Intervention program wonder what the key to the great successes they are seeing in their child. It is the core values White Glove stands by, which truly sets the care at a remarkable level.

The Core Values Our Providers Stand By:

1. Servicing with Respect and Understanding

At White Glove, we believe that every individual deserves being treated with understanding and respect. This is the sentiment we care by. It is both about White Glove giving a solid framework for our specialized providers, and our Par Excellence providers conveying a sense of dignity to every client. We totally grasp the difficulties involved that may challenge the children and caregivers, and we stay determined to support everyone and work alongside to enable real change.

2. Cultural Diversity

One of our top goals is to provide an equal standard of top-quality care for all no matter the outer appearance, race, culture, values, gender, or other differentiations. Diversity is our greatest strength. We appreciate the differences of our providers because that makes us unique, enabling the ultimate care.

3. Servicing Individualized Needs

 One-size-fits-all-therapy exist not at White Glove. As every child is individual, so are their needs. And so will their care be. White Glove Early intervention providers will service every patient for who they are. Each child is evaluated in detail to determine their unique goals. An appropriate method will be implemented to help them develop and reach their potential preparing them to live their most productive life.

4. Passion is Us

We LOVE what we do. The leadership, talent, collaboration, and deep sense of intuition our White Glove Early Intervention Therapy team reflects on the success stories we see daily.

This blog is for you only if you are a provider who is seeking to see real change in every client.

Ok, ok. 

Obviously, who does not want to alter the lives of the patients working with.

When working with children facing unique challenges, whether developmentally, behaviorally, physically, emotionally, or all in one we are sometimes in for real fun.

If children are great at giving their caretakers a run for their money, children with special needs are the queen experts at it. Keeping them engaged throughout the session is the hard-to-find key to progress.

So, bottom line, how can we get every client to cooperate and stay focused?

First, we must understand every child’s core functions that may lead to any insecurities, so we know how to better address it. Those may be some of the subconscious thought racing through their mind as you enter the room.

I don’t know what will be happening.

Don’t tell me what to do!

How long will this take?

This is going to be BOOOOOOOOORING!

I want to play… I don’t want to do what she tells me!

I am stronger than her and I do not want to reach her goal.

Before seeking progress, first and most importantly we must get them hooked to like the time spent together. 

Some easy or not so easy tips you can implement to engage you clients. 

• Create a Routine for Your Sessions

When children can expect what will be happening it gives them a sense of being in control of things. Additionally, children to not own the concept of time. You know your session will take 45 minutes. They do not. This can make your stay seem endless for some clients. Organizing a structure for your sessions with the same schedule each time can make them figure it out. They can predict that you start out with a song, then continue to a book, then do the daily exercises. Especially if you are mindful to use the same transitioning words each time. This is almost as good as saying “Another five minutes and we’re done”.

• Prepare a Learning Theme

For little minds, jumping from colors to numbers to the next teaching can become a jumble in the brain. A daily theme keeps the children focused. They can follow you better because it makes sense to them. Preparing a learning theme can make the preparation for your lessons more tasking but the results are worth it. Say, you choose to designate a session on Ducks. You sing a song about ducks, show a number book about ducks, tell your client to count the ducks, ask which color the ducks are – the child can make progress in the learning while your theme is keeping them hooked. 

• Form a Connection

 Most special children will not cooperate with a stranger whom they do not trust. The solution? Make little friends! Give them the little tickle, huggie and friendly greeting before starting out.

• Do Not Engage in Tantrums

If you do not know the sight of a kid sprawled on the floor with ear wrenching shrieks, you are absolutely unique or rather, you are NOT a Special Instructor. And oh, if you talk to the child and they just come join you to cooperate – hats off for you.

Pleading, begging, talking. It is for naught. Teaching? Go for talking to brownstone walls.

The best route is to tell the child something like this. Usually, if your session is something they look forward to, it will help. “Ok Mary, it is ok if you cry. Looks like you are not ready today. I will wait and when you are ready come join me for some fun activities. Otherwise, we cannot do any of it.” Obviously, we want Mary to join us. But under those circumstances there is no way how we will get through to reach out goal anyway.

• Give Them Control if They Need it.

Some children like to be in control always. Those children will resent being told to do everything. Though we cannot have them set the direction of our sessions, we can restore their feeling of having a grip on things by presenting choices. “So, Mike, today we will be doing Activity A and B.” (fact.) “Which one do you want to do first?” (Choice.)

• Know your goal. (But hide it)

Your goal for the day is most important, no doubt. But if your focus on it is too clearly detected then there is a chance that the other party in the room will not share the same interest for the day. It is important to coat the lemon with a bar of chocolate so the children cannot detect where your real goal is. A themed lesson will also help you hide the real goal.

Henny Falkowitz, Senior Benefits Specialist at White Glove, is simply in love with what she is doing.  Whether you have spoken to her about your eligibility for Health Insurance, to inquire about your Flex Card, or anything in between, you know what it’s like to talk to sunshine. Henny is the kind of person who would get the shirt off her back for another, and she is virtually obsessed with making every caregiver happy.

Henny recognized some misconceptions about our monthly flex benefit and compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions, to ensure you are knowledgeable how to manage and maximize your benefits.

 Therapist: When am I eligible to get my first benefit Flex-card?

Henny: First, Welcome to White Glove! The most common misconception I encounter with therapists starting out at White Glove is that they think they need to work 40 visits/hours weekly to qualify for full time benefits, when you are truthfully eligible at 30 visits/hours. Once you complete 30 visits/hours weekly for the four midweeks of the calendar month, you will be eligible to receive your card on the 20^th of the following month.  Say, you started out on June 1^st, you worked the 30 visits on the 4 midweeks of the month, you will be eligible to get your card on July 20^th.

Therapist: Is the benefits card taxed?

Henny: The good news is that Uncle Sam has no bite into those dollars. The benefit card is Nontaxable. The money loaded onto your card is not included on your annual W2. Call it your personal and well-deserved bonus.

Therapist: When in the month will I get my card refilled?

Henny: Once you have received your card for the first time, as long as you keep up your 30 visits consistently per week, your card will be auto filled with $100 on the 20^th of every month.

Therapist: Can I only use my card for Cellphone bills?

Henny: This misconception is way too widespread! You can use your card toward any kind of cellphone expenses, medical expenses, dental expenses, pharmacies – (over the counter items and prescriptions), optical expenses or childcare.

Therapist: I am a full-time employee for several months and still haven’t received the benefit card. Why?

Henny: This is my turn to throw back a question to you. “Did you request it?” The flex-card must be requested for the first time, then it is automatically renewed if you work the required number of hours.

Therapist: If I don’t use it one month, what will happen to the money?

Henny: No worries, if you don’t get to use your card the money will roll over to the next month. I recently dealt with a nurse who had forgotten about her card while the card hadn’t forgotten about her and was still accumulating money. She had $1,200 available to use! Though, keep in mind that card can only swipe up to $125 dollars per transaction, which makes it more convenient to spend the money sooner instead of accumulating funds for one bulk transaction.

Henny continuously sings her mantra “The only thing better than our benefits is our customer service.” She suggests that you know our benefits address by heart so you can contact her with no hesitation at hfalkowitz@whiteglovecare.net.

Join us today for a dynamic experience enjoying your monthly flex card, weekly pay and an unrivalled benefits package.

Annual Blue Trophy Awarded to Teresita De Cruz

On January 26^th, Moshe Stareshefsky, White Glove Chief Executive Officer, announced the nomination of Teresita De La Cruz, Special Education teacher to receive the Annual Blue Trophy for 2023. “Teresita is more than a Special Ed teacher, she is reinventing therapy with her high patient engagement, professional creativity and passion for children.” He said in a statement.

“My goal was to find a way to engage those special children by creating a clear-cut but interesting routine.” Teresita says.”

 “Teresita starts her day with a welcome song and ends it with a goodbye song and the children know it and love it.” one of the parents relayed to Hadassah Tyrnauer, Case Coordinator.

   Whether Teresita visits a patient, she is prepared with a stock of new toys which the children relate to as her ‘magic bag’.

 She creates a themed lesson so the children can stay tuned throughout, without realizing her real therapy goal for the session. It is astonishing to see how Teresita can get the most challenged children cooperating.

 Teresita’s goal for 2023 is help even more children with special needs reach their goals and prepare them for a better life.

White Glove Therapy takes this time to recognize all of the accomplished White Glove healthcare professionals for their continued dedication and caring. We hereby wish you a year of much career growth, success, and happiness. We look forward to continue supporting our teams and celebrating you every day in 2023.
