Angelfish Therapy® helps children with a variety of special needs, sensory issues, and motor coordination difficulties reach their full potential through fun and challenging aquatic therapy sessions, swim lessons, and even land-based therapy.  We work with children individually, in small groups, in parent/child classes, and in summer camp settings to improve their motor skills and enhance their learning potential.  We also educate other therapists, swim instructors, care givers, and parents about how to use the water to improve a child’s motor skills and overcome sensory issues to learn how to swim.
