History
Established in 1999.
Sherri Cawn, SLP and Jerri Krantz, SLP, recognized therapists in the area of pediatric speech and language development, combined their 35+ years of experience and knowledge to create a pediatric clinic to meet the developmental needs of children and their families.
Their interdisciplinary staff, including licensed speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, developmental therapists, and social workers, are experts in providing individual assessments and interventions based on a child’s unique profile.
As a child develops and adapts, so do their interventions. Guided by the DIR/Floortime® Model, Cawn-Krantz emphasizes the child’s individual differences and the effect those differences have on how the child relates, communicates, and learns. Their engaging therapy environment further encourages movement, exploration, and sensory stimulation.
Sherri and Jerri are nationally recognized for their work and have been invited to share their success stories throughout the country.
