People with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities deserve investment in their mental health. Our specialized mental health services, provided by licensed and certified therapists, improve quality of life and daily functioning by teaching skills related to the following topics: emotional resiliency, conflict and stress, grief and loss, acceptance of diagnosis, and transitions across the lifespan. Services are provided directly to the individuals with ID/DD, with additional supports included to increase caregiver resiliency and support the entire family’s emotional well-being. Therapists will use a strengths-based approach focusing on solutions for daily life.

We offer family-centered, strengths-based therapeutic services designed to promote long-term success to people with Down syndrome in their unique home and community life.

Our therapy team includes an occupational therapist (OT), a speech-language pathologist (SLP), and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Children, teens, and adult self-advocates will work with a therapist on goals that are meaningful to your family.
