We were very fortunate to chat with Freepod about what Theraplay has to offer!! Feel free to give the interview a listen (be nice, I was nervous!) but more importantly, give Freepod a follow for local news and updates! As a community, we are lucky to have a resource like this!

Theraplay is a local children's therapy operation focusing on helping kids with a range of needs by offering occupational, physical, and speech therapy.

Freepod host Becky Connors spoke to Kelsey Grove about what treatment looks like at Theraplay.
