Individualized Attention to Treat the Whole Child
Brave Wings Therapy accepts all major insurance plans. The creative team of therapists puts the “fun” in functional and uses evidence-based, child-friendly approaches to target developmental skills. In addition to being certified in renowned therapeutic treatment methods, the Brave Wings team is patient, nurturing and provides a loving learning environment.
The therapists take a holistic approach to create individualized treatment plans that help each child achieve their goals. They emphasize treating the whole child while educating families on ways to implement strategies at home.
“Our practice prioritizes improving quality of life for infants, toddlers, children and families,” says co-founder Dr. Jenn Moore. “We help clients with important skills such as strengthening their abilities to eat, communicate and navigate the world around them.”
Keeping Therapy Fun
The therapists strive to be positive, friendly and compassionate in every interaction to ensure that each child feels safe and comfortable while in their care. The practice’s warm and inviting clinics feature therapy rooms equipped with toys, games and crafts, while the sensory gyms feature therapeutic swings and slides, custom-built rock walls and oversized climbing structures and crash pads.
“We strive to provide our clients with the best course of treatment possible in a fun and loving way,” says co-owner Naomi Sutton. “The greatest fulfillment we get is when we see our clients’ faces light up after they achieve their goals.”
