NorthLakes offers a wide array of therapy services for infants, children, and teens. With parent involvement, therapists work to improve the child’s overall independence. We offer a dynamic approach to treatment, where physical, occupational, and speech therapists collaborate to help each child achieve proper development.
Parents also have the option to borrow therapy equipment for either service from our lending closet to see if it’s a good match for their child before making a purchase.
Lactation counseling services are available at our Ashland location.
