Floortime Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Caregiver Coaching and Education
Floortime is a developmental, relationship-based approach that meets children at their individual level and builds upon their unique strengths, interests, and ways of communicating. During Floortime, therapists follow the child’s lead and use playful, meaningful interactions to support connection, engagement, shared attention, communication, emotional regulation, flexible thinking, and problem-solving. Our therapists have a unique skill that honors a child's individual needs while challenging the child and build foundational skills to meet their family's goals.
Kids Lead and 143 Speech Therapy are the only clinics in our area with a team of Floortime-trained therapists who receive ongoing mentoring and professional development. This allows us to provide thoughtful, individualized support that honors each child’s differences while helping them grow through safe and trusting relationships.

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy grounded in the neurobiology of safety.

SSP is used to support clients experiencing:
- Trauma
