Therapy woven into the school day
No more driving across town between appointments. Our licensed pediatric therapists work alongside educators inside the classroom, so progress in therapy reinforces learning — and learning reinforces therapy.
Occupational Therapy
Fine motor skills, sensory integration, and daily-living independence — practiced through play children genuinely enjoy.
Physical Therapy
Strength, balance, coordination, and mobility support delivered on-site, integrated right into the school day.
Speech Therapy
Communication, language, and feeding therapy that helps every child find their voice and be understood.
Getting started is easier than you think
We accept tuition payments, insurance billing, and grant funding — and we'll help your family explore every option.
Tuition Payments
Straightforward, transparent tuition for our full-day and half-day programs, with flexible payment plans available.
Insurance Billing
We bill qualifying therapy and medical support services directly to your insurance provider to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Grants & Assistance
We actively pursue grants and scholarship funding so that cost is never the reason a child goes without care.
