With a synthetic ice rink, climbing walls, agility courses, music studio, and access to so much more – we find something for every child to connect with. Families and therapists have seen the benefits that come from creating an ever-changing, adaptable environment where children can play side-by-side with their peers. We provide cutting-edge and effective therapy. Therapists work with your child on foundational skills in MOCO Movement Center and then take them out in the “field” where the child can practice real-life skills needed to participate with their community, peers, and family in places such as a climbing center, ice skating rink, playground, hiking path, music and art studio.
