TheraKidz Playhouse — Local services in New York

TheraKidz is a very special place for my son and family. Where do I begin… Early Intervention (EI) lead me to an additional OT evaluation and second opinion with Miss Sarah. During the initial assessment she was knowledgeable, confident and helped provide answers to our questions that no one could help answer- i.e. doctors, EI evaluators and the other countless people who had an uneducated/inexperienced opinion ;)

My son is lucky enough to have Miss Sarah and Mr. Joe work with him on a regular basis (1:1 sessions, Peer Groups). Miss Sarah, assertive and loving and Mr. Joe, goofy and safe, both provide a hybrid approach that just works. They push my son in a controlled environment so that he can learn when he is in those real-life scenarios. These techniques & tips are then taught to my husband and I so that we are better equipped.

But most importantly, my son LOVES going there and we have seen tremendous progress. I’d say you can find his smiling face as proof on IG, but my son is one of many! The support and love from the entire Therakidz staff/family is unmatched. We are forever grateful for their dedication to our son and the other...

This by far is the greatest place you can send your children to. You will have the absolute best experience from the second you walk in the doors. All the therapists that work with the kids are truly remarkable you can see they really do love their jobs and love working at TheraKidz. It really is one big happy family. We see Miss Sarah and she has become a big piece of our family. She's always looking out for my son. She constantly pushes him to do better and challenges his mind. She's kind, compassionate and just an absolute amazing person who will be your child's biggest cheerleader. She's become a coach, a mentor, a friend and someone who I trust with my son as I would with my own family. You will also have the pleasure of meeting Kofta and Jax as well, who will steal your heart. My son never wants to leave TheraKidz when his sessions are over and neither do I. It has become our happy place. Thank you Miss Sarah for the never ending love and support you...

Since starting at Therakids, my 4-year-old son has made incredible progress even in areas I didn’t realize he was struggling with. Sarah and Joe are not only exceptional occupational therapists, but they also help build his confidence and character. Their keen eye for fine motor skills caught subtle mannerisms I had assumed were just part of his personality. Within just a few months, they helped him work through these challenges with care and expertise.

Coming to Therakids was truly the best decision we made to support his development. What stands out most is how deeply Sarah and Joe get to know not only the child, but the whole family. They genuinely care, and it shows in every interaction. The environment is warm, welcoming, and full of happy kids who feel safe and supported. My son looooves going and absolutely adores Ms. Sarah and Mr. Joe! Staten Island is truly blessed to have such an incredible team of OTs, that care and are also incredibly...
