Services Offered by Our
First Steps Team

Speech Therapy

Our team of speech therapists work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive communication and feeding/swallowing disorders in children. We have an excellent team of speech therapists at Kids Count Therapy with a multitude of experience. Our therapists enjoy providing carryover education and activities to increase generalization into the home setting!

Occupational Therapy

At K1ds Count Therapy, our occupational therapy services include intervention/treatment sessions, regular re-assessments to outline progress or continued areas of focus, and discharge planning. Occupational therapy addresses performance skills (fine motor, gross motor, visual motor integration, cognition, sensory integration, and emotion regulation) that may be inhibiting achievement of age-appropriate milestones. Your child’s OT will communicate with you regularly to outline progress, provide suggestions for carryover and practice, and/or discuss potential changes to the treatment plan. Our OTs participate in regular in-service learning opportunities together, and value collaborating with KCT professionals of other disciplines to ensure clients receive well-rounded care.

What Parents and Employees Say About Us

"I absolutely love working alongside such a supportive team! Everyone is quick to lend a hand, collaborate on a shared client, brainstorm, and share resources! I feel valued as a professional and cared for as an individual. I know every single person is willing to help me in a time of professional or personal need. Hard work is noticed and recognized through Workplace Rewards, kind notes, encouraging cards, candy, and small gifts."
∼ Victoria P OT
"KCT is different because we are not focused on the billable hours. Our focus is to provide the best quality services to our clients and community while still taking care of our employees and ensuring their workplace experience is top-notch. I love talking about my experience at KCT. I know in my heart I will work here until I retire! I have been given the opportunities to grow as a therapist and a leader in this company."
∼ Alyssa HST
"We have enjoyed every aspect of our time with KCT. The resources sent home and whole receiving services have been amazing and have helped my child come a long way in a short amount of time. It also has helped her generalize that these things are every day tasks that she needs to grasp."
∼ KCT Parent
"She loves each and every one of her therapists. She's referred to it as "play school" since day 2. So she has a great time, and she enjoys every day that she goes."
∼ KCT Parent
"It's made a huge difference. My child is now more vocal and more independent in her every day tasks."
∼ KCT Parent
"The relationship my son has built with his therapist is truly special. It is the reason he has progressed as far as he has. He trusts her and connects with her. That’s huge for a kiddo from trauma!"
∼ KCT Parent
"His therapist does so much research and training to dig deep and try to figure out how to help him. We have even had a recent breakthrough with him, only because of research she did."
∼ KCT Parent
"KCT is different because they take the needs and suggestions of their employees and immediately act upon them. They see a need for a single client or a group of clients and they work to meet that need."
∼ KCT Parent
"The things I love most about Kids Count Therapy are the relationships and the family-like atmosphere that is evident when walking to any building at KCT. The people and the kids are what make this work fun, meaningful, and worthwhile."
∼ Kenzi LOT
"I have always felt supported and encouraged, even in difficult situations. I always feel like I am able to speak my mind in a professional matter. I also always feel like I am supported to grow in my interests."
∼ Keeley HOT
"The progress my daughter has made while working with Mya is stunning! She always goes the extra mile, and thinks outside the box with new ways to help."
∼ KCT Parent
"Our daughter's speech therapist has been such a blessing to me as a parent. I had initially wondered if our daughter would feel odd or unenthusiastic because she was the only child in our household who had to go speech therapy. On the contrary, she was pleased and excited about going to speech therapy each week and she has gained confidence in her speech skills."
∼ KCT Parent
"Miss Jackie is wonderful! She is so patient and teaches me as a mom just as much as she teaches my son how to handle different situations."
∼ KCT Parent
"Kristen has been doing such a good job with my child in speech therapy. He always looks forward to coming to speech :)"
∼ KCT Parent
"We love our KCT family. Having been number 7 for the facility, going from only the farm house and seeing how much KCT has grown is really remarkable. Not only is it bringing growth for my child in so many ways, but I truly believe that with all the services KCT provides they maybe the only ones (that I know of) that provide Mental Health services. PCIT therapy is hard to find a provider for, and for KCT to provide staff who are knowledgeable in this field is HUGE! While not only has my child been blessed with this amazing opportunity to be with KCT, communities around have been touched as well. KCT really does SERVE not only clients but their families, and the communities around them."
