Kid Spot - Speech, Play, Occupational Therapies
We’re not your typical therapy clinic—and we’re proud of that.
At Kid Spot Waterford, we believe communication and regulation don’t just happen in a chair—they happen in spaces that feel safe, sensory-friendly, and full of possibility and backed by evidence based assessments and interventions.
