Additional support offered at this location

Speech-Language

Through personalized treatment plans, our skilled speech-language therapists work to improve verbal and non-verbal communication abilities, enabling better expression and understanding. This therapy is essential not only for effective speech but also for boosting confidence and improving overall social interaction.

Occupational

The tasks of daily living can often be difficult for children with autism. Occupational therapy makes those tasks easier and boosts confidence, helping them feel more comfortable and independent in their surroundings.

Mental Health

Healthy emotions and safety are at the core of healthy development for all people. We provide emotional support attuned to each family’s needs. In a safe, engaging, and fun environment, we focus on learning healthier ways to understand and deal with emotions.

Autism Diagnosis

Receiving an autism diagnosis can be a pivotal moment for many families, offering a pathway to understanding unique behavioral patterns and needs. An early autism diagnosis is crucial, as it enables families to access specialized support and interventions that are vital for addressing the child’s unique needs effectively.

Feeding

At Positive Development, we use fun, non-stressful activities to help children with eating difficulties develop healthy habits. Our therapy aims to understand issues like sensory problems or difficulty swallowing, offering adaptive techniques for healthier eating.

Positive Prep

Our Positive Prep preschool readiness program provides a safe, supportive, play-based experience that fosters relationships, self-awareness, empathy, communication, and physical development. Help your child prepare for successful school and community experiences.
