ABOUT OUR MONROE LOCATION

Jennifer and Wendy recently renovated this facility around an open concept. There’s a kitchen, just like you would find in a home, and it overlooks the gym where so many children gain greater strength and mobility.

To encourage higher literacy and a love of reading in all our children, each treatment room has a literary theme, like Harry Potter, Curious George or Alice in Wonderland. Every shelf is laden with games and toys that double as engaging therapy tools. Check out the clinic below!

My son is happy from the moment he walks through those doors until it’s time to leave. Not only have they helped him with physical and occupational therapy, they have also helped me with a ton of advice and techniques to work with him at home. I would recommend your services to anyone especially because I have seen the progress that my son has had since starting services here.” (B.J.)

My child has made incredible progress, reaching milestones I once thought were out of reach

“The team at Building Futures is exceptional in every sense.

They understand that each child is unique, and they approach every session with patience, creativity, and enthusiasm, making therapy sessions feel more like fun-filled adventures rather than clinical appointments.

“As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact this clinic has had on my child’s development. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, my child has made incredible progress, reaching milestones I once thought were out of reach.

They go above and beyond for both the patient and the parents

Her [therapists] and everyone else that have worked with her are so devoted to helping my daughter reach her goals. They go above and beyond for both the patient and the parents.

“To have someone listen to your concerns about how your child is learning, living, or processing information and take that to help you formulate a plan to help them is truly a blessing. I truly wish I would have had this knowledge of people that could help me when my children were younger. I will always tell any and everyone about how wonderful this place is and the hard working people that work there.” (C.D.)
