Welcome to TheraToTs!

Our Philosophy

We at Theratots are dedicated to giving our children successful personalized care using the most progressive methods possible, walking each client and their family through the process every step of the way.  Our therapists provide the highest quality of therapy by utilizing the appropriate and/or latest techniques available from research and continuing education.

We pursue parental involvement also as a core component in all of our therapy sessions.  At Theratots parents learn how to incorporate the therapeutic techniques we use during therapy and utilize them on a daily basis to encourage independence and confidence.

We seek to build a foundation of age appropriate and/or functional development in the areas of gross motor skills, fine motor skills and cognitive thinking to ensure that our children have the confidence and success with the challenges they face in a variety of environments.

We strive to promote personal development of your children to prepare them as best we can for the challenges that lie ahead in life. Our staff consists of experienced, certified and continually trained educators.
