About CTC

At Children’s Therapy Center, we are on a mission to maximize the potential of children with special needs. We provide individualized, family-centered therapy including early intervention services, early childhood special education, physical, occupational and speech therapy. In partnership with parents and caregivers, we celebrate where each child is today and work toward who they can become.

Founded in 1979, Children’s Therapy Center has grown from a dream shared by a handful of visionary pediatric therapists to the largest and most comprehensive independent nonprofit pediatric therapy program in Washington State. Growth like ours does not happen by chance. It takes a commitment to quality services, collaboration, innovation and a focus on excellence in all areas.

About the Group

Through role playing games like D&D, natural interactions, and hands-on instruction, participants have the opportunity to practice skills in a fun and supportive environment, and connect/build friendships through shared interest. Weekly sessions are led by two therapist and typically have four to six participants, similar in age.
