This sweet little fella is working SO HARD with Jenna! He is working on weight bearing through the hands, head, neck, shoulder control, and his sitting balance!

He has come a long way in PT and we love seeing his progress and especially his personality!

CONGRATS to our amazing Brandi, PT, who recently completed Introductory Level C!!!

Here is just a tiny glimpse of what training looked like!

Imagine the focus, the reflexes, the quick thinking! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Becoming a certified DMI therapist takes passion, dedication, and commitment - and once they are Level C certified, they are officially able to hold DMI intensives! 🎈 🎈

Why must we wait for Level C??

Although levels A and B give practitioners an incredible foundation, mastering this technique requires extensive practice with various patients in order to grasp its full application. By reaching level C, therapists will have acquired the necessary exercises to target all areas of development and advanced exercise progressions to each exercise.

Entrusting your child’s therapy to a level C or higher therapist will ensure a superior experience and improved outcomes in your child.

We are also so honored to be able to host our very own DMI event! In May, will be hosting Intermediate Level A! We look forward to meeting many advanced practioners, here in Southeast Missouri!

Today we want to highlight our amazing Geri who puts so much thought into helping our littles learn to not just tolerate, but ENJOY sensory activities!

Creative and crafty, she is always coming up with new ways to build relationships with our SMILE kiddos while helping them explore with all of their senses 🎈

Our sweet Bristol is enjoying the sunshine while learning to embrace the mess on her hands and working on her skills! ☀️🫶🏼 She has been working hard while navigating PANDAS with an awesome family and support team.

We love our little gal pal!
