SOUNDS FAMILIAR?

My son is all over the place. He’s disorganized and clumsy. He falls apart quickly in frustration, resists change, and can’t manage in noisy or crowded places.

I want him to learn to stay calm and self regulate →

My child lags behind and lacks stamina. Sweet and complacent, he struggles to put on his coat, avoids joining sports activities, and complains of hand pain when writing.

I want him to be able to keep up with his peers →

My daughter is having a hard time socially. Her teacher reports that she frequently fights on the playground. At home she’s rigid and needs help sorting out difficulties.

I want her to learn to make friends and get along with others →

“Is this normal?”

You want answers to your questions.
But more importantly, you want solutions.

Developing ability. Building skill. Improving behavior.

Here’s how your child’s therapy
will create real, lasting change

PINPOINT

Our therapists conduct thorough evaluations to accurately identify the root of the problem, so that therapy focuses on the exact skills needed for improvement.

PRACTICE

New skills are well-practiced in therapy, and at home with easy exercises for parents to continue. This way, we see changes faster and the new abilities become deeply acquired.

PROGRESS

We set realistic, measurable goals within a motivating environment, using games, prizes and positive encouragement to boost your child’s confidence and accelerate progress.

Sam’s core is strengthened, his endurance is improved. He's able to categorize better, and therefore has improved understanding and improved communication skills. These are all newfound skills that he has gained directly from the OT and speech therapy he receives.

Sophia’s therapist, Rivky, has made a point to connect with her personally-- She even tailors games toward her specific interests, like when she hand-made a chicken trivia game after we got backyard chickens!

During an evaluation, I commented, "David must have a hard time reading for long periods of time." Surprised, his Dad exclaimed, "Yes, How'd you know?" "Because his eye muscles are very weak." I replied.
What Dad didn't yet realize is that by locating the underlying physical weakness, we identify a straightforward fix: strengthening the weak muscle.

Meet the Team

Therapy is effective and easily accessible,
but is it necessary?

Hear what this Mother has to say:

“My younger daughter started with therapy in first grade but my older daughter wasn’t as lucky. After graduating high school she continues struggling with the lasting impact of daily letdowns, social isolation, and lack of academic advancement. I shout out to all young parents, “Do not miss the opportunity that occupational and speech therapy can offer your child”. While I don’t blame myself, I try to save others the devastation of living with under-maximized potential.”

You won’t have another chance to bring about change today.
