Services
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy helps children develop essential daily living skills through personalized interventions. Our therapists target fine motor skills, sensory processing, and cognitive abilities to improve independence in self-care, play, and school activities. Evidence-based techniques enhance coordination, attention, and social interaction for children with developmental delays or disabilities.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy addresses gross motor deficits by improving strength, balance, and coordination. Our therapists use play-based exercises to help children overcome developmental delays, orthopedic conditions, or neurological disorders. Sessions focus on functional mobility, posture, and participation in age-appropriate physical activities to promote independence.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy targets articulation, language delays, and social communication challenges. Our pathologists use interactive techniques to improve speech clarity, vocabulary, and conversational skills. We address stuttering, voice disorders, and feeding issues through structured activities that enhance communication and learning readiness in preschool and school-age children.
Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration Therapy improves neural processing of sensory input through structured activities. Our therapists address overreactivity, underreactivity, and sensory-seeking behaviors using tactile play, movement exercises, and proprioceptive activities. This enhances attention, emotional regulation, and motor coordination for children with sensory processing disorders.
Language Groups
Talking Together Language Groups provide structured social communication practice for preschoolers. Led by speech pathologists, these sessions use circle time, art, and music activities to develop expressive/receptive language skills. Parents receive strategies to reinforce vocabulary, turn-taking, and preschool readiness in home environments.

Questions
How do I know if my child needs therapy services?
If your child struggles with developmental milestones, speech delays, or motor skills, we recommend a free phone consultation. Our team will discuss concerns and review CDC guidelines to determine if an evaluation is needed.
What does a typical therapy session look like?
Speech sessions last 30 minutes; occupational and physical therapy sessions range from 30-60 minutes. Sessions include caregiver discussion, play-based skill development, and home exercise recommendations for continued progress.
Do you accept insurance?
We verify insurance benefits before scheduling and work with most major providers. Our staff explains coverage details, including pre-authorizations and out-of-pocket costs for in-network and out-of-network plans.
Are parents required to stay during sessions?
Parents may drop off children but must return 10 minutes before sessions end. This allows therapists to review progress and provide home exercise instructions for continued skill development.
Do you offer in-home therapy services?
We provide clinic-based therapy only. Families seeking in-home services should contact pediatric home health companies for those specific care arrangements.
