About ACT Therapy Services

ACT Therapy was created in order to provide child-led therapy to children and adolescents.  We see and understand what can happen when compliance based therapy is used with children.  When a compliance based style is used to work with children, their motivation and self-confidence is reduced.  

Our style is to connect and collaborate with you and your child so intrinsic motivation is higher and your child enjoys therapy, is motivated to participate and they progress across goals.  We get how frustrating it is when families and caregivers are not involved in the therapy process–that is why we always want caregivers to be involved in what we do!  

Because we understand how sensory integration and communication work together, our team incorporates movement, play and imagination into every therapy session.

At ACT Therapy, we have a combined 75 years of experience providing pediatric speech and occupational therapy.  We understand children with differences and we work with families to solve communication, sensory and regulation issues.
