Therapy Services for Children with Disabilities

Our licensed physical, occupational and speech/language therapists are pediatric specialists uniquely qualified to develop the most effective therapies.

As part of our circle of care, therapists develop a treatment plan with the input of the child's physicians and family. The agency, which is unique in its goal to provide comprehensive services to families, combines therapy, education, family support and recreation in a single service plan designed to meet the needs of each family.

Because most of a child's learning takes place at home and in school, we teach family members therapeutic activities they can enjoy with their child outside of the agency. As part of our "circle of care", participating families receive parent education, advocacy and support at no charge through our ACCent services. We also provide teachers with information and techniques to help children progress in the classroom.

Children may receive outpatient therapy services or participate in therapy as part of their enrollment in other Achievement Centers programs.
