Description

Specialties

We specialize in helping children of all abilities achieve their fullest potential. We offer a range of therapy services for children aged 0 – 15 years, both with and without disabilities. We provide speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapy to children. We also have social groups, handwriting instruction, and parent education. We work with the family to create a treatment plan that will benefit the child and the family. We are able to help families receive funding from insurance to pay for therapy.

We feel parent education is a vital part of the therapy process therefore, we host monthly parent education courses to help inform and educate families about various topics and therapy techniques.

History

Established in 2012.

Joy & Laughter Developmental Therapy opened its doors in 2012, with a small office which provided only occupational therapy. Since that time we have expanded to a new location and now offer occupational, speech, and physical therapy services to children aged 0 – 15 years.

We hope to continue to grow and offer additional services to the children and families in Santa Clara County.
