The Kioko Center has been providing expert occupational and speech therapy services to children and young adults, ages birth to 21 years, since 2006. During that time, we have developed the highest quality standards for our therapies and services. Our staff are highly trained and prepared to integrate the latest therapy techniques into your child’s sessions. We provide comprehensive, individualized therapies which facilitate overall development and independence. We look to our name, Kioko, meaning “Happy Child” in Japanese as a guiding principle for our work.
