It's about the kids
What Makes Child's Nature Special?
We are a small, locally owned business with a dedicated team of therapists who have a calling and passion for serving children and families.
We have a specialized focus on complex developmental disorders, family-centered care and progress. All therapy is evidence based and nurtures the parent-child dyad. We have a large support system of colleagues and professionals whom we work with closely. With family approval, we love to collaborate with schools and other professionals to provide our clients with a holistic approach to their therapeutic care.
We believe that children are natural born learners. We believe that all children have worth and value in a way that contributes to society. We want children to be able to grow, learn, communicate and play in ways that are naturally motivating. It is through a child's play and nature that we are best able to help them grow and learn.
When appropriate, we utilize our outdoor therapy space and local parks/trails to work on therapeutic goals.
Our Dedication
Speech Generating Devices
We have a 100% acquisition rate for children needing speech generating devices. Every child deserves a voice.
Advocacy
We believe in a child's rights to a free and appropriate education. We review IEPs for all our clients and offer guidance on how to get the most for your child's education.
