Our mission is to broaden the life of every child we encounter through caring and exceptional therapeutic services. Through our state and board certified therapists we will provide services that not only improve the quality of life and potential for success of each child, but family support and education for parents of children with special needs.
Southland Therapy Services is dedicated to assisting our patients in reaching their goals, while teaching families how to create therapeutic opportunities for their children within that child’s most natural environment. Where available we will provide treatment where the child spends most of his/her time. We have many therapists that will meet with children and their families in either a natural environment (home or daycare) setting or in our clinic. Please inquire as to whether natural environment services are available in your area.
Please note that without member information we cannot guarantee that your specific plan covers these services. We recommend asking the care provider before beginning services.
