 About Us

Every child is different, and it’s critical that they receive customized support to be resilient, happy and healthy as they learn and grow. The Growing Changes team provides therapy in each child’s natural, familiar environment, at home, school or in the community.

Our team of specialized therapists each bring their own expertise to create a personalized plan unique to each child’s development needs. Our therapists work one-on-one or in a team approach to ensure we help each child meet their goals.
