Pediatric & Therapy Services

AID's Pediatric Therapy program serves children, birth to 21 years of age, who exhibit a developmental delay, have a diagnosed condition such as Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy, or who come from a high-risk medical or environmental background. Adult services are also provided for individuals in need of Physical, Occupational, and/or Speech Therapies.

Translation for Spanish speaking families is available. A sliding fee scale is used based on state funding source requirements. Some third party funding is available for therapy and camp services.
