Services
Speech Therapy
Our speech therapy services help children develop communication skills through play-based interventions. Therapists work on speech articulation, language comprehension, and expressive language development. Parents learn strategies to reinforce communication skills during daily routines and family interactions.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living activities. Therapists help children develop independence in self-care tasks and adapt environments to support functional participation in home and community settings.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy services enhance gross motor development and mobility. Therapists address muscle strength, coordination, and balance through play-based activities. Families receive guidance for creating movement opportunities in natural environments.
ASD Services
Specialized autism services include DIR/Floortime, PECS, and sensory integration therapies. Our team addresses social communication challenges and repetitive behaviors through individualized interventions that promote engagement and learning.
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy addresses picky eating and sensory-based feeding challenges. Therapists use SOS approach techniques to expand food variety and improve mealtime experiences through gradual exposure and positive reinforcement strategies.
