Career opportunities

Helping Hands Center for Special Needs is a therapy and education center for children with developmental disabilities. Our goal is to offer an integrated approach to meet your child’s needs. This collaborative effort combines professionals in the fields of music therapy, speech therapy, and behavioral and educational services.

The therapists and classrooms use principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to target individual language and academic goals, as well as behavior management. Social interaction is targeted through the use of peer buddies. We believe this integrated model maximizes services to children looking for a continuum of services.

Our wide range of services include individual music therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and behavioral consultation. We also offer private preschool classrooms, a kindergarten classroom, an intensive classroom setting, and a variety of therapy groups.
