Welcome to The Center for LifeSkills!

The Center for Lifeskills is a multi-specialty clinic committed to meeting the special needs of children and their families. Our goal is to help children become independent and safe in their home and community environments.

The Center for LifeSkills offers
speech, occupational and music therapy in a fun and integrated environment.

The Process
 
The first step is to set up an evaluation appointment, which is typically about 60 minutes long.  Depending on the services you are interested in, the evaluation will be done by either Stefanie (speech therapy), Brenda (occupational therapy), or both of us.
 
Based on our findings, we will tailor weekly therapy session(s) to your child's needs.
