Speech & Language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and behavior therapy for children of all ages
Speech & Language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and behavior therapy for children of all ages
Our team of experts are equipped to address an immense range of functional and behavioral matters with children of all ages. From speech and language to coordination and movement, we’re here to help through the healing power of play.
Our expert speech-language pathologists work one-on-one with your child to assess and address the most common difficulties in language and communication development.
A child’s “occupation” is to play, learn, and grow, and we help children engage, participate, and gain confidence in themselves through functional and fun play and learning sessions.
Whether your child has experienced injury, disease, or other difficulties, Play Works can help them build strength, motor function, balance, and coordination in fun, creative ways.
More than just “teaching a child to eat,” our team works closely with parents and children to determine feeding difficulties and how to make the entire process easier for everyone.
ABA is the gold standard for children on the autism spectrum, focusing on improving specific behaviors, such as social skills, communication and reading for long-term success.
For more in-depth, one-on-one treatment needs, our intensives are tailored to each child, parent, and family, and vary in length from four days to two weeks of daily play, learning, and growth.
"We visited Hood River and Play Works for a therapy camp over one of my son's school breaks, and I can't say enough about the program. Both therapists my son saw were skilled and professional, and the office staff was welcoming. We are hoping to come back this summer!"
"We traveled from out of town for an intensive therapy program and are so happy that we made the investment. The team at Play Works is truly top notch, and they made our family feel like we were top priority!"
"I just wanted to say how happy and grateful we are to have Video therapy. It has given Adrian the chance to continue with his routine and given the whole family a chance to participate. This has also been great in being able to put in practice at home everything he has learned in therapy, and having guidance in how to work with him. He loves seeing his therapist on the screen and has been doing great."
Playing together is the most natural way for children to connect, get to know each other, learn critical social and behavioral skills, and, most importantly, have fun!
This power of play is the heart of our work. Our dynamic, multi-faceted approach involves clinical, in-home, school, and community support, and treatment is always tailored to the specific needs of our patients.
Our clinic is located in Hood River, Oregon, and we serve children ages 2 through 19 in the greater Columbia River Gorge region.
