Partnership for Education
Partnership for Education provides therapeutic services to children with disabilities and/or developmental delays and their families.
We operate on the belief that service providers should work in partnership with a child’s family and caregivers, as well as with the other professionals involved in the child’s care, to ensure the best possible outcomes.
We believe that services should encompass the newest research on brain development and its direct implications of how children with disabilities learn, with the goal of helping to mitigate a child’s disabilities and/or developmental delays.
Our services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, social work, psychological counseling, and special education instruction.
Some services are available in Spanish.
