The children who we care for are often experiencing difficulties in doing the things that they want to do, need to do, and have to do. These children are seeking support from our experienced therapists to achieve their goals. We strive to help each child achieve their goals and to be as independent as possible in their daily lives through the use of adaptive strategies, adaptive equipment, and the achievement of new skills.
At aMAYZing Kids, we take a child-led approach to therapy which empowers our patients to decide where and how their therapy happens. As neurodiverse affirming therapists and staff, we actively adapt our treatment plans to support a child’s interests and desires to empower every child’s success in therapy and in life.
aMAYZing Kids is a non-profit pediatric clinic that strives to provide access to services for children from all backgrounds and from underserved communities.
aMAYZing Kids has truly been the best place to start my career. Coming here right out of college, I didn’t have a lot of confidence and was still finding my footing as a new speech therapist. From the very beginning, everyone here welcomed me with open arms. The team is kind, supportive, and genuinely passionate about the care they provide for each child. I’ve learned and grown so much thanks to the guidance and encouragement I’ve received. I also really appreciate that aMAYZing Kids offers free CEU trainings and occasional in-services for all disciplines, which shows how much they value continued learning and professional growth.
What truly sets aMAYZing Kids apart is their love for celebrating all things, big and small. Whether it is a child reaching a new milestone, a therapist achieving personal growth, or a team collaboration that makes a difference, there is always something to celebrate. The quality of the staff and their dedication to helping each child reach their fullest potential are truly remarkable. Every day, I am surrounded by people who love what they do and care deeply about making a difference. I am so grateful to be part of such a positive and uplifting work environment.
I’ve had the privilege of working at this clinic for the past six years, and it has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. As a nonprofit pediatric therapy clinic serving children from birth through 18 years old, we are able to offer incredible opportunities, not only for the families we serve, but also for clinicians, including new graduates entering the workforce.
One of the things I love most about our clinic is the wide variety of patients we get to work with. We treat everything from early developmental delays to complex orthopedic and neurological cases, which allows us to continually grow as clinicians while providing well-rounded, individualized care. The diversity in ages, diagnoses, and needs keeps every day meaningful and engaging.
Our team is truly exceptional. We are blessed to work alongside therapists with over 20 years of experience in both developmental and orthopedic care, as well as newer clinicians who bring in the latest research and fresh perspectives. This blend of experience and innovation creates a collaborative environment where learning never stops and everyone has something valuable to contribute.
The culture here is what sets this clinic apart. We work in an environment that celebrates progress, especially the little victories, alongside our patients and their families. Working with the kids is a joy, and the support across disciplines is unmatched. Our occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapist, and administrative team are all incredible women who care deeply about what they do and about one another.
After six years, it’s been amazing to witness the growth of my colleagues and to grow alongside them. I’m constantly encouraged to ask questions, learn from those around me, and expand my clinical knowledge to best serve my patients, especially when their needs extend beyond my area of expertise. This clinic fosters curiosity, teamwork, and compassion, and I am truly grateful to be part of such a special place.

We believe it is critical to make therapy as fun, motivating, and play based.

🧠 Understand others’ perspectives
🎯 Think about how their behavior impacts others
🤝 Build and maintain friendships
💡 Problem-solve social situations
💛 Grow confidence in peer interactions
All skills are practiced through fun activities, games, role play, and real peer interaction so children can apply them in school, friendships, and everyday life.
