We enjoy working with children and adolescents of all ages facing disability, developmental delay, or injury, to reach their full potential. We have a client and family-centered approach to therapy, which includes evidence-based intervention techniques to address oral motor and feeding/eating, sensory processing, sensory modulation, gross motor, fine motor, handwriting, self-care, and visual-motor concerns. Intervention occurs primarily through play and meaningful social interactions.

Testimonial:
Our experience with Noelle has been wonderful. I believe she comes to the sessions with beneficial plans; yet goes with the flow of the moment letting lessons present themselves. At this age, 13, it is really helpful that my daughter has opportunity to discuss and learn life skills from another woman in addition to me, especially, since she requires so much repetition. All our sessions have been valuable.
