Our Process

We want to make this process as simple as possible and it starts with following these three steps.

Communicate

Give us a call or send us an email and we would love to chat with you about your child or answer any questions you may have.

Come Together

Once we have talked, let's make an appointment and meet to start this amazing journey. We will assess and get to know your child to determine which therapies will best meet their individual needs. From here we can begin the process of setting goals, planning activities, and creating a schedule that works best for you and your family.

Celebrate

Here is where we get to watch your child grow and flourish as we make progress toward our goals. This is the area that each therapist loves, as the small victories make our jobs worth pursuing. We couldn’t be more excited to start this adventure with your child and your family.

Tools For Growth

We provide a vast number of tools that will equip your child to reach their full potential. Therapy can be the perfect place to start getting your child the help and resources they need.

At Square Peg, it is our goal to utilize meaningful and research-based processes to provide a specific and comprehensive therapy that is the best fit for your child.

We never want to make a square peg confined to a circular hole, but we do want to provide tools to adapt that opening to allow the opportunity for change. Let us walk you through each type of therapy.

We work with insurance companies to obtain services. We communicate with doctors to achieve quality care plans. We attend IFSP/IEP meetings. We know all children are different. Please contact us to see if we have the right therapist for your child.

Let's find the perfect fit together.
