"Reaching for the Stars"

For some children, activities and skills that often come naturally, such as achieving integration of reflexes, reaching developmental milestones, playing, socializing, eating, listening and even talking, can be difficult or impossible.   At an early age, those children must learn to compensate causing an imbalance in function and ability. Unfortunately, without a solid foundation of developmental skills, learning and typical daily tasks become more and more difficult.

We at IT4k Inc. are dedicated in helping to identify your child's unique needs and establish guidelines that are essential to your child's success. Our therapists are trained in using a child's areas of strength to combat weakness. This specialized technique may be used and is proven effective for all levels of needs, all disabilities, ages, genders and may be performed in clinic, home, educational and daily environments.

Innovative Therapy 4 Kids Inc., the first private multidisciplinary practice in San Diego County was eestablished in Carlsbad, in 2000 by Laura Driessen Walls, M.S.CCC-SLP, and Amy Duffner Johnson, PT.  Our practice continues to grow and improve so we can better serve children and families in our community. Thanks to the support of our families and the success of our amazing kids, we have reached beyond the stars; beginning in a small two-room clinic, we have now recently added a new location with 11 therapy rooms, including two large open-air gyms, a strength room, suspended equipment in each room, a sensory room dedicated to visual and kinesthetic exploration, a resource library, remote filming ability, a fun waiting area filled with interactive toys, an outside balcony for parents-only to relax, read and overlook the ocean while waiting for their child, a private lounge area, a therapy kitchen, and one-way glass in all of the therapy rooms so that parents/teachers may watch all interactions.   We have access to the latest state-of-the-art treatments, techniques and therapies available. We also provide education and training to family members, teachers, therapists and other caregivers to help ensure maximal success and carry over.
