History

Established in 2014.

We began as a non profit team dedicated to helping families learn more about play therapy. As we partnered with families, businesses, and area universities we found a calling to open up a Speech Therapy Clinic where we could help as many families as possible through therapy programs and training. We opened our clinic doors in June 2014 and are excited to be a part of this amazing community.
