A comfortable place where children, their families and therapists alike could thrive, feel secure and develop their full potential. Today Therapy Works continues to change, improve and adapt to meet the needs and challenges of the children and families it serves. Through love and respect for others, our therapists provide a caring and accepting atmosphere that allows families, their children and therapists to laugh, have fun and look with pleasure to each new challenge.

You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
