Parents, Take a Load Off in Our Waiting Room

You wouldn't believe how many parents we have talked to over the years if we told you. And yet, there is a reoccurring theme that we see in those parents who have children with special needs. We see tired and worn out parents. It is not easy being a parent, let alone being one of a special needs child. But while you are at Circle Creek Therapy, we need you to take a break.

We also like to play thi

Straight From the Heart Interview Series: Lea Sager

The Sagers have been coming to Circle Creek Therapy for a couple of years now, and we have loved seeing them! Lea is the mother to Cole and Rachel. Rachel has graduated from speech therapy, but Cole is still attending speech therapy for help with his articulation.

For example, a speech therapist can help a child say the "l" sound in the word "lion," instead of saying "wion."
