Through parent regulation, co-regulation, and practicing calming strategies, children develop the tools to manage emotions effectively.

Back-to-school transitions can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, kids can thrive. At All Together Wellness, we offer physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapy, along with tutoring services, to help children build confidence, ease stress, and succeed in the classroom and beyond.

At All Together Wellness, we provide play-based pediatric therapy—physical, occupational, and speech—to help children build skills and reach milestones. Step Up for Students scholarships can help cover costs.
