What this is, in plain language

Joy & Laughter Developmental Therapy offers play-based occupational, physical, speech and feeding therapy for children from birth through age 12, covering things like sensory processing, big movement milestones such as crawling and walking, communication, and feeding and swallowing skills.

Getting started

You can call (408) 337-2727 or fill out the online contact form to schedule an evaluation. The site also has a free online developmental screening for children from birth to age 6, and a free phone consultation if you want to talk through concerns before booking.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.
