Call 910-313-2111What happens when I call?

You don’t need a diagnosis to call.

  • Accepting new patients. Evaluations usually within [X] weeks.
  • Most major insurance. We check your child’s benefits before the first visit.
  • In our clinic, at home, or at preschool — across five counties.

Is it time to call?

Does any of this sound like your child?

Lots of kids need a little help with something. Asking early isn’t overreacting — it’s one of the most helpful things you can do. Tap any that fit.

How we help

Two kinds of therapy, one team

Our occupational therapists and speech therapists work down the hall from each other. If your child needs both, they plan together — you won’t be sent across town.

Occupational therapy

Helps kids with the everyday “jobs” of childhood: playing, eating, getting dressed, writing, and staying calm.

Hands and movement
Holding a pencil or scissors, handwriting, balance, coordination, and strength.
Senses and calming down
Big reactions to noise, touch, or movement. Big feelings and hard transitions.
Eating
Very picky eating, gagging, trouble chewing, or a short list of “safe” foods.
School and daily routines
Getting dressed, getting ready for school, and keeping track of classwork.
More about occupational therapy

Speech therapy

Helps kids be understood — and understand others. It’s about talking, listening, and connecting.

Talking and understanding
Late talkers, using fewer words than expected, or trouble following directions.
Clear speech
Sounds that are hard to understand, childhood apraxia of speech, and stuttering.
Getting along with others
Taking turns in conversation, playing with other kids, and reading social cues.
Feeding and other ways to talk
Mouth and feeding skills, plus picture boards and speech devices.
