The SMILE Center strives to provide the highest quality of pediatric occupational, physical and speech therapy services with a strong emphasis on sensory integration (SI), neuro-developmental treatment (NDT), and DIR®/Floortime. With solid foundations in these treatment models, our therapists treat the whole child by addressing the systemic sensory and postural needs, as well as supporting social-emotional, communicative and affective development. Our goal is to facilitate optimal functional outcomes and autonomy in all of the children that we serve.  We see each child for their unique set of strengths and challenges and provide them with the opportunities to develop the skills necessary to achieve their potential as individuals and members of a family and a community.  The staff of the SMILE Center takes great pride in their dedication to ongoing training and education in order to maintain solid fundamental pediatric treatment skills and expertise in the latest techniques and specialty therapies.

Our interdisciplinary approach utilizes a fundamental framework of treatment that bridges occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology.  Each of our therapists receives the training to address both the sensory and motor components in order to more rapidly achieve the functional goals specific to their discipline.  Sensory issues and motor impairments are so frequently intertwined with the children we see today, that no single approach is sufficient. SI, NDT, and the specialties within the two models, paired with Floortime-based interactions, provide the means for sensory motor integration and speech/language development.
