Champion care to children and families for happy, healthy lives.

With design elements inspired by the style of a tree house, the Institute is located in a serene environment reflective of the natural beauty that exists in our region. Families and their children can receive diagnoses, treatment and support all under one roof.

Cognitive, psychological and developmental evaluations will be completed at the Institute to ensure the assessment of each child’s individual skill set and to identify appropriate therapy services to maximize the child’s development. Available therapies for children will include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/feeding therapy and music therapy. Psychological services will provide assistance to children and families through individual counseling, family counseling and behavioral support services. A treatment navigator – a dedicated Institute employee – will support families through the diagnostic and treatment processes. Key services offered at Anna Shaw Children’s Institute are listed below.
