“We have had a wonderful experience with Little Hands Therapy. My son received a very thorough and comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation, which helped us clearly understand his strengths and areas where he could use support. Since then, he has been receiving services from the owner, Stephanie.
Stephanie is warm, kind, and patient. My son feels comfortable and genuinely looks forward during his sessions, and we’ve already seen positive progress. It’s clear that Stephanie truly cares about the kids and families she works with.
We are so grateful to have found Little Hands Therapy and highly recommend them to any family looking for thoughtful, high-quality occupational therapy services.”

During all sessions, she is friendly but focused which has made my daughter feel comfortable from the start. All communication about appointments and insurance has been clear and easy. I highly recommend Little Hands Therapy for anyone looking for OT services.”
