The support you need

Our dedicated team stays by your side throughout, answering questions and easing fears. We know you’re trusting us with your child’s health, and we never take that lightly. Our promise is to earn that trust every day, providing as much peace of mind and normalcy as possible.

How we help

Our compassionate caregivers are trained to work with special needs children. Services are
available throughout the 5 boroughs — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Nursing
  • Home health aides
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy

Our dedicated nurses are skilled in pediatric care and deeply committed to your child’s well-being. They develop personalized care plans, oversee our aides for optimal care, and connect families to supportive resources, ensuring your child’s health and comfort.

Caring for a child with special needs is a challenge in many ways. Our devoted home health aides are there to take on some of your daily tasks, making life more manageable. Some of the ways they help include:

  • Helping with bathing and dressing
  • Mobility assistance
  • Companionship and recreational activities
  • Medication reminders

Hand-in-hand with our dedicated physical therapists, your child will work to develop their mobility, balance, and strength — helping them navigate their world more confidently

Our occupational therapists help your child improve their daily living skills and overall independence. Through an approach tailored to your child’s needs and home environment, they’ll work on tackling tasks such as dressing, eating, and toileting, as well as general coordination.

Our speech therapists help your child overcome communication and swallowing challenges, empowering them to express themselves more effectively and eat more safely.
