Plastic bin filled with colored sand and plastic dinosaurs for sensory play

Sensory Bin: Dino Dig A lot of the little boys we work with love dinosaurs, so naturally, a dino-themed bin had to happen. I already have a sand play bin with gems in it so I wanted to go for a different texture for this bin. You can use anything…

    Busy Mom of One, Lebanon NH

    Our schedules are crazy sometimes and we needed someone who could be there when we needed them for [our son]. [Spark Therapies] has been so flexible and caring and we are so blessed to have found this place.

    Team Family, Wilmot NH

    [Our son] was getting his hair cut today. Same place and same stylist cutting his hair since he was born. For the first time today he hopped out of the chair and said, “Thank you, [stylist’s name]”. It made us both tear up. At dinner every night we go around the table and all share what we are grateful for. [My husband] said tonight that he was grateful for Thomas and all Spark Therapies is doing for [our son]. We all agreed. Thank you for all you have done for [our son]. We so appreciate it! It is working!!!

    Therapist Testimonial

    I love the opportunity to help kids succeed. It is rewarding to be able to provide a service that would be otherwise difficult for families to receive in an environment that allows me to do what I do best.

    Our son has had a wonderful experience at Spark. He’s actually asking for longer sessions which is so rare! Thanks for creating activities that he looks forward to all week!

    Dad with 2 energetic kiddos, Hanover NH

    We came to Spark because they did not make us wait around for therapy. Other places had months to wait before we would be seen. We came in the next day. Everyone is very helpful and respectful of our family. I would not send [my son] anywhere else.

    Happy Family, New London NH

    This is exactly what we needed to help my daughter do her best. From the moment you walk in, it is obvious everyone there cares. Everything is beautifully laid out and put together. My daughter has anxiety and this place has never made her feel uncomfortable.

    Vocal Training, Wilmot NH

    Even though I am much older than most of the [clients] at Spark, I came to TJ at Spark Therapies for help with my voice. I often got a dry throat, talked too fast, and could not speak loud enough for other people to hear/understand me. He worked with me to retrain my voice and now I can do my job with authority. Thank you to TJ and everyone at Spark for all of your hard work.

    Ahead of the Pack, Grantham NH

    [My daughter] has been behind in her speech and reading skills for years now with no help in sight. Coming to Spark every week has given her back her confidence and she is now right on track if not ahead of her classmates!
