Our Vision
Children FIRST Therapy strives to be a model program for the use of integrated peer learning in early intervention services for children with developmental disabilities. Understanding that children learn best from their typically developing peers, we have built an early intervention therapy preschool, and supportive in-home program, that has been successful for nearly 25 years. Our vision is to pioneer the growth of the field of integrated therapy preschools so that every child has an opportunity to thrive and reach their fullest potential.
