At Brave Wings Therapy, we believe that every child deserves a welcoming and comfortable environment. Watch to see 3 ways our locations are built with inclusivity and accessibility in mind.
-
Waiting Room
A calm, family-friendly space where parents can relax while their child is in session. Siblings can color or play at our activity station, and our open layout keeps you connected to the front desk. Private bathrooms are available exclusively for our families.
-
Large Sensory-Motor Gym
Our sensory-motor gym is where movement meets learning. Here, children receive occupational and sensory-integrated speech therapy using colorful equipment — monkey bars, slides, swings (hammock, platform, and teardrop), yoga balls, balance beams, crash pads, river stones, and more. This space targets a wide range of skills, including gross and fine motor development, strengthening, balance, and coordination.
-
Therapy Rooms
Designed to feel welcoming and child-centered, our therapy rooms include both tabletop and floor-play areas. Soft carpeting, games, and toys create a playful environment that keeps children engaged and relaxed throughout their sessions.
-
Full Size Kitchens
A fully equipped kitchen supports independence and real-life learning. Children practice daily skills — cooking, cleaning, hand-washing, even brushing teeth — and explore new foods during feeding therapy. Mealtime becomes a positive, confidence-building experience that carries over to home.

I've worked with Brave Wings on a personal and professional level. My son was treated in the Sparta office for speech and OT-related issues and Carly and Savannah were unbelievable. Both of their understandings and approaches to my son's treatment were impressively nuanced and evidence-based. As a whole, the staff at BW is not only very knowledgeable and up-to-date on relevant interventions, but they are some of the most incredibly compassionate practitioners I've come across. They are collaborative with other treatment providers and communicative with caregivers about how to extend the interventions to home. Moreover, they are just *very good humans*, which is an essential component of early intervention care during what can be a highly emotional and confusing experience for many parents. Thank you for helping our little man catch up to his milestones and be a source of encouragement and support for the rest of our family during a stressful time. We love you!Show moreLauren D

My son has been a client of Brave Wings for over 2.5 years. When we first started, he had very little speech and vocabulary. We started working with Tina C and she helped him grow and progress his speech to now at or above standard for his age. Communication with Tina and the staff was always important; discussing his progress, setting expectations, what we were doing or seeing at home and how we can reinforce topics discussed at therapy during the rest of the week. It’s our families deepest gratitudes to Tina and the team for their dedication to my son. Start early, be dedicated. Thank you again from very grateful parents!!Show moreAnthony R

I recently completed my first level II fieldwork experience for occupational therapy at Brave Wings and I could not have asked for a better first placement. I felt welcomed and supported from the moment I stepped foot into the building. All of the therapists have a clear passion for their jobs and a love for the children receiving services. From the beautiful amenities to the continued education provided to staff, Naomi and Jenn are always ensuring that their clients are receiving the best care possible. Special shoutout to my amazing fieldwork educator Nicole C for taking me under her wing and helping me to grow as a therapist. Brave Wings will forever hold a special place in my heart :)Show moreLauren N
