Studies show that intervening with children who are at risk for a variety of problems as early as possible significantly improves their prognosis for future success.

North Country Kids is committed to providing the highest quality treatment available to children with disabilities and developmental delays. Our experienced therapists offer researched-based approaches to work with genetic and behavioral disorders as well as apraxia and autism. Our goal during therapy is to enhance communication to enable a child to express basic wants and needs. For example, teaching a non-verbal child to use a sign to express “more” or “all done” while working to develop the language skills to say these words. These communication skills are important to developing play and social skills. A child who understands the meaning of brush, bottle, or bib is better able to engage in pretend play with a baby doll. As a child’s language skills improve his or her ability to interact with others also becomes stronger.
