ChildWorks offers a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. Speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and nutritionists work together to meet the needs of the individual child. ChildWorks is unique in that we offer many different services in one Center. Parents will enjoy the convenience of traveling to only one location to have all their child’s needs met. A child who has more than one therapy may receive them consecutively. In addition, co-treat sessions, social skills groups and handwriting groups are available, as well.
ChildWorks Therapy Center was founded by Neala and Jeff Schuster in 2006. Neala is a Speech Language Pathologist who has worked in a school based setting, Early Intervention and private practice for over 18 years. She has published five popular children’s games which have been selling in stores, catalogues and on the Internet for over 11 years. Jeff is a former Stock Option Specialist with over fourteen years experience on Wall Street.
ChildWorks believes that the parents are the team leaders and we are members of that child’s team. We recognize that there are many professionals a child sees throughout their week. Teachers, home and school based therapists, doctors and various other disciplines work with the child each week. Parents are the team leader coordinating their child’s services and overseeing their progress. We firmly believe that communication between each member of the team is a vital part of that child’s progress. ChildWorks encourages parent participation in various ways including observations and dialogue. Parents are informed at the conclusion of each session of the goals their child worked on, the progress they made and suggested activities for carry over to the home. This is information and shared verbally and in writing.
