Not only are we a diagnostic center but a therapeutic center as well. We can test your child and then give you recommendations for school, home, and therapy if needed. We can then provide the therapy at our center if you choose. If you already have testing, we can base your child’s customized curriculum upon the testing you have obtained from another qualified professional. It is that simple!
