Kid Spot’s HomeWorks

What is HomeWorks?

Kid Spot HomeWorks brings therapy to the place it matters most—your child’s daily environment.

Instead of expecting progress in a clinic-only model, we work with your family where your child learns, communicates, and regulates: at the kitchen table, in the bedroom, at the front door, and everywhere in between.

HomeWorks is targeted, documented, evidence-based therapy focused on helping your child communicate more, regulate better, and participate meaningfully in everyday life.
