Does any of this sound like your child?
We'll quietly MATCH your selections to the programs that could help...no emails, no pressure, just a starting point.
- Our approach
Three steps, taken at
your family's pace.
We don’t do cookie-cutter. Every plan is built around your child’s specific nervous system, your family’s rhythm, and the kind of life you’re trying to build together.
Free Zoom Consult
We begin by understanding your child, your routines, and the challenges your family is navigating right now. No pressure, no rush, just space to feel heard and supported before any plan is created.
- Free 30-minute consultation

Real Families. Real Results.
You’re not the first family to walk in feeling hopeless. And you won’t be the last to walk out feeling seen.
We spent years trying different programs, but this was the first place where our son truly felt understood. The changes in his confidence, focus, and communication have been incredible for our whole family.

Our daughter used to dread reading and schoolwork. Now she proudly reads bedtime stories to her little brother. The patience, warmth, and support here made all the difference.

No. We are committed to helping everyone from those struggling with sensory and processing issues to those looking to peak their performance in academics, athletics or work. Our goal is to address the functioning of a person so that they are happier, less stressed and anxious and performing at their best no matter the obstacle.
We work with children ages 2 ½ through adults based on the needs of the person. When we are working with children and teens, we always like to hear from the parents first in order to get a better picture as to what is going on at home, school and with peers. In doing so we are able to provide the most appropriate support and guidance in developing a plan of action. However, in today’s world we know meeting can be difficult so we provide office hours 7 days a week to meet in person or can do a phone/video consultation at a scheduled time.
The evaluations and assessments we conduct are based on the programs we offer at the clinic. They help to indicate which of the programs we offer will best address the issues that are being seen. Based on the testing we are able to give a clear plan of action as to the next steps to take. We do not do typical psychological or neuro-psychological testing but can refer you to appropriate practitioners.
Each of our programs has a specific time frame based on the protocols of that specific program. (Sensory Learning and Syntonic Phototherapy cover this on the Sensory Learning page.) However, our secondary lab programs typically run for 1 hour and 15 minutes each; while our groups range from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the size and method of the group.
Yes they can! After our assessment/evaluation we are able to see the strengths and weaknesses of your child and can help you advocate for them and determine what may be most helpful.
Sensory Stepping Stones is considered an out of network provider. Payment is provided by the family first with any reimbursement from the insurance company going directly to the family. Reimbursement (1500) forms are provided to the family for insurance purposes with treatment and diagnoses codes after several sessions are completed. It is the responsibility of the client’s family to submit these and follow up with the insurance company regarding reimbursement.
Credit card, cash or check. We offer package rates with payment plans for convenience, but payments can be made as a per session fee which are paid in packages of 6 sessions at a time.
24 hour notice is requested. We reserve the right to charge with less than 24 hours notice.
Still have questions? We’d rather you ask than wonder.
