Who We Help

Every child is different. That’s where we come in.

Maybe your child is struggling with communication. Maybe getting dressed turns into a daily battle. Maybe they avoid certain foods, have trouble at community events, or have endless energy and struggle to sit still.

At Growing in Motion, we provided individualized treatment for children to help them build the skills they need to play, learn, communicate, move, participate, and become more independent.

We work with children of all abilities and meet them where they are!

Life Goals!

〰️

Life Goals! 〰️

I want my child to get dressed independently.”

“I want her to be able to go to school without getting frustrated.”

“I want him to play with his friends.”

“I want my child to eat more than five foods.”

“I want her to tell me what she needs.”

“I want him to get to be able to transition through the day with becoming overwhelmed.”

Those are the goals that matter.

Therapy is about helping children use their skills in the places that matter most—at home, at school, on the playground, at the dinner table, and with their friends.

Question: What does the Therapy Look Like?

Answer: It might actually look just like play… Hang on though… there is a method to our madness!

Therapy Should Feel Like Something Kids Want to Do!

We believe children learn best when they're engaged, motivated, and having fun.

That's why our therapists use play, movement, games, creativity, and activities that are meaningful to each individual child.

A child working on balance might travel across a bridge through a Mario-inspired adventure, without even realizing they're practicing balance and coordination.

A child working on strengthening might climb across a rock-wall to retrieve small aliens stuck in green goop without realizing they’re working on motor planning, and hand strengthening.

A child working on communication might be busy playing Pop the Pig while practicing how to express ideas, take turns, and interact with others.

A child navigating obstacles to save their small turtle friends while swinging, climbing, jumping, or crashing into a crash pillow without realizing the objective is to help them regulate their body so they can attend and maintain focus on a fine motor activity next.

That's intentional.

When children are having fun, they're more likely to participate, practice, take risks, and try again.
