As therapists, we all know that a child's development doesn't happen in a vacuum. A speech goal often links to a sensory regulation goal, which connects to a gross motor milestone. Our clinic is designed from the ground up to break down the silos between PT, OT, and SLP. We foster a truly integrated environment where you can step across the hall, and brainstorm with a peer from another discipline. If you are looking for a collaborative community where your unique expertise is respected and integrated into a holistic care model, you belong on our team.
