Services
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help children develop independence in daily activities through play-based interventions. We address fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care abilities in both clinic and school settings. Our therapists collaborate with families and educators to create functional goals that support academic and social success.
Behavior Therapy (ABA)
Board-certified behavior analysts implement evidence-based strategies to improve communication and social skills while reducing challenging behaviors. Our ABA services include individualized treatment plans, teacher coaching, and behavior plan development tailored to each child's needs in educational environments.
Speech Therapy
Speech-language pathologists address communication disorders including articulation, language comprehension, and social pragmatics. We provide both direct therapy and classroom integration strategies to improve academic communication and social interaction skills for children across all age groups.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
Comprehensive evaluations determine learning profiles and identify educational needs through standardized assessments and clinical observations. Our specialists develop individualized recommendations for IEP development and classroom accommodations to support academic achievement and social-emotional growth.
Teletherapy Services
We deliver remote therapy sessions using secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms for families requiring flexible service options. Our teletherapy services maintain the same evidence-based approach as in-person sessions while providing convenient access to specialized care.
