At ChildStrive, we partner with families of infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities—supporting children with needs ranging from motor or speech delays to feeding challenges and more. Our goal is to help every child and family thrive by providing services that celebrate each child’s unique strengths.
We come to you! Our therapies take place in your child’s natural learning environment—your home, childcare center, or other familiar setting—so children and families feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. We incorporate favorite toys, daily routines, and family priorities into each session to make learning meaningful and fun.
Every family works with a team of specialists, which may include:
Speech-Language Pathologists
Occupational Therapists
Physical Therapists
Family Counselors
Special Educators
Feeding Specialists
Family Resource Coordinators (FRCs)
Your FRC will be your guide and primary contact, helping you navigate services, answer questions, and access additional resources when needed. Services continue until your child no longer qualifies or until they transition to new supports at age three.
Babies and toddlers grow and develop at their own pace, but sometimes caregivers notice things like:
“My baby isn’t sitting up yet.”
“My child isn’t crawling.”
“Shouldn’t my child be talking by now?”
If you have concerns about your child’s development, a free developmental screening is a great first step.

Referrals can also come from your child’s physician, daycare provider, or another caregiver.
An Intake Coordinator will connect with you to learn about your child, answer questions, explain services, and schedule your orientation and evaluation.
This visit takes place where your child spends their days and includes the important people in their life. If your child qualifies for services, our team will help you get started right away. If not, our Family Resource Coordinators will provide referrals to other community supports. Children can be reevaluated in 3–6 months if needed.
Families work with ChildStrive staff to create a plan with your goals, services, and next steps. This plan is flexible and tailored to meet the needs of both your child and family.
Services begin as soon as the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is complete—all in your child’s natural learning environment.
No family is ever turned away because of inability to pay. Services are funded through a combination of public and private insurance, family contributions, grants, and fundraising so that all families can access the support they need.
