Welcome to Therapy Smarts: Where We Turn Challenges into Triumphs! 

Choosing a therapy provider for your child is more than a logistical decision—it’s a heartfelt one. You want a place where your child will be seen, heard, supported, and empowered. At Therapy Smarts, we’re honored to be that place for so many families across the Raleigh-Durham region. Each week, we support over 850 children to work on the key milestones that will serve them throughout their lives. 

What sets our clinic apart? We take a comprehensive, multilingual, and multidisciplinary approach to pediatric therapy. We deeply believe that collaboration is the key to successful therapeutic outcomes, and offer each of our unique services under one roof, enabling our therapists to work together to support the whole child. Furthermore, we work to serve the needs of our diverse local community, offering therapeutic services.

Our Services: Supporting Every Stage of Development

Speech & Language Therapy

Language is the foundation for learning, connection, and confidence. Our licensed speech-language pathologists help children improve their ability to communicate, whether they’re facing articulation challenges, language delays, or social communication differences.  Our services are also designed to help children with learning disabilities like dyslexia to process words, enhance reading fluency and more. Through play-based, personalized sessions, we give children the tools to find their voices and express themselves fully. 

Occupational Therapy

Everyday tasks—like getting dressed, holding a pencil, or regulating emotions—are building blocks for independence. Our occupational therapists work closely with children to strengthen fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care routines, all while making therapy fun and meaningful.

Physical Therapy

Movement is key to a child’s health and participation in play, sports, and school. Our physical therapists focus on improving strength, balance, and coordination, helping children reach gross motor milestones and feel confident in their bodies.

Feeding Therapy

Mealtimes can be stressful when feeding difficulties are present. Our feeding specialists gently guide children through the challenges of eating and swallowing, using evidence-based techniques that support safe, enjoyable, and nourishing experiences. For children with sensory processing differences, sessions focus around introducing them to new foods at their own pace, exploring them through other senses like sight and touch. 

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Using a compassionate and individualized approach, our ABA therapists work with children—especially those on the autism spectrum—to build communication, social, and daily living skills. Our programs are family-centered and rooted in respect for each child’s unique strengths.

Mental Health Therapy & Psychological Evaluations

Children’s mental and emotional health is just as important as their physical development. We provide counseling for anxiety, behavior concerns, and life transitions, as well as comprehensive evaluations to better understand a child’s learning or developmental needs.
