Not sure which group is right for your child? Email: victoria@flourishohio.com to find the best fit for your son or daughter. We offer a wide variety of groups to support the WHOLE child.

Most groups provide one hour with both a Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist. Our dynamic teams allow for all children to learn, grow, and flourish through a variety of activities including movement, play, communication and games!

Important Notes

Clinicians provide a flexible environment; honoring individual sensory, emotional, and communication needs.

If your child is presenting with physical aggression and is not yet able to participate in a group setting without harm to self or others, the therapist will likely recommend 1:1 services in order to provide clinical recommendations for future group services. The groups fortunately run year round.

Safety is a huge concern of ours because although our rooms are large enough to accommodate a group, they are still small making safety our number one priority.
