Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Parents, I have been taking my son to Fit for Kids for the past year for PT and OT. The therapists are great, it's owned by a husband and wife (Steve & Sanford) who formerly worked for the school system. The facility has ample space for many activities and smaller rooms for quiet activities, such as handwriting and other fine motor skills. They have Music Therapy too. Bright and colorful, which the kids love. Therapies are available on Saturday mornings, in addition to Mon-Fri. I highly recommend Fit for Kids, and I don't usually extend my regards too often, but in this case it is warranted.
