Check Out What Other People Are Saying About Us

“These therapists are not only extremely warm, playful and caring to my child, they are experts when it comes to the different realms of therapy. Our therapist allows my child to lead the sessions based upon his interests in play. She observes him, allows him to blossom and inspires him to communicate for a wonderful play-based session. She is always ready to answer any questions and always brings up my son’s speech goals when I inquire about what we can focus on at home to continue his therapy.”

The Integrative Difference

At Joy and Laughter Developmental Therapy, we deeply believe that patients get the best outcomes from a full, collaborative approach. We work together as a team, identifying additional treatment options that strengthen and compliment your child’s primary therapy plan. Unlike many offices, we have built in, dedicated collaboration time for all our therapists to create the best plan for our patients.

Your child is unique, and their development is affected by many factors – they deserve more than cookie-cutter sessions and limited options. As parents ourselves, we know how scary it can feel to be in the dark, which is why we freely share exactly what we see in your child, what treatments would be the most effective, and a timeline of care.

l

Individualized

We prioritize quality over quantity in our daily sessions. Our therapists have dedicated time for each patient for planning and documentation, allowing them to prepare activities that will bring out the best in your individual child. Gone are the days of one single activity set up for an afternoon’s worth of patients. Each child gets specialized, expert attention, with activities tailored to their needs and strengths.

v

Collaborative

Our truly revolutionary approach is in our cooperation. Every week, we have built-in collaboration time where your child’s therapist can learn strategies from other disciplines to take back to your sessions. We also can more readily identify the need for multiple diagnoses, allowing us to approach your child’s treatment from all the needed angles so they thrive.

Fun

Play is the business of childhood. Through play, children learn and develop as they make sense of the world around them. During our play, your child can relax and be natural, allowing us to more quickly identify any challenges they may be facing. They also stay more engaged with their therapist when they are having fun. Joy and Laughter means play with a purpose.

“As a mother of an autistic little boy it is so comforting to see how patient she is whenever he has a meltdown. My husband just joined us for the first time ever and had several questions which Jennifer was able to answer without a problem. Everyone here is so friendly especially the front receptionist. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in need of therapy for their child. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.”
