BIG NUMBER 5 for STARS and review ~ Kids in Stride has been instrumental in my child's physical and verbal development, bringing him through literal leaps and bounds in academics and play. Lori, Sarah and Elizabeth and the whole staff have been amazing, always willing to listen to my son and I both, as well as going beyond polite consideration, they are now more like family! We can't thank them enough!

Your blog is very straightforward to find out any matter on net as compared to textbooks, as I found this article at this web page. Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say you've done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer. Excellent Blog! I have been browsing online greater than three hours nowadays, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before

I cannot say enough positive things about the entire team at Kids In Stride. Our son, Hudson (3 years old) was diagnosed with Autism when he was around 1 1/2 years old and we were travelling every week to Asheville to get his therapy. We even considered moving out of Murphy due to the lack of help for special needs children but then we found KIDS IN STRIDE, and honestly, we could not be happier with them. Angela in the office is amazing and always greets you with a smile, Elizabeth Mickie and Boomer are awesome with our son! They are so patient and kind and really take the time to figure out what is best for his growth and his future. They also talk to us as parents and are always so helpful with advice and anything else! You can truly tell that they were made for this and that they love their job. This community needed them and I am so glad we have them! I look forward to every therapy session with them, each time it seem's our son goes home learning something new and as a parent I could not be happier for my boy! Thank you Kids In Stride, you guys are absolutely amazing!

Kids in Stride has been an answered prayer for our family. We have seen so many great changes and growth in Greyson in the year he has been seeing Lori, (Boomerang) . Harper, who has just started her OT appointments also loves everyone there. You can really tell that Boomer and Mickey put a lot into their job and care about each child. We would be lost without them!

Kids in Stride has been a life saver for my family! My daughters love them! Both my girls have SPD my youngest one extreme and I can honestly say I can’t live without their help. They always know just what to do and fantastic advice on what might work at home and school also! Elizabeth, Lori and Mickey are absolutely amazing and Angela always has a smile for us as soon as we walk through the door! The change in my youngest daughter is amazing after a year with them, it has been life changing for our whole family! Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do for our girls! You are our blessings!

Things like this simple post of appreciation makes me realize that I have chosen what I was meant to do. A lot of people when they think of Pediatric Occupational Therapy, they think of play. But what they don't see is the hardships from parents, caregivers, and foster parents who want nothing more but for their child to be accepted into society for who they are. Some of the kids we see only get that one-on-one time from us. We form relationships with these kids and families that will never be broken. We never stop working or thinking about these kids. We go home and research, we reach out to other therapist, we find new ideas, and the paperwork....oh the paperwork!! I will forever be grateful for Elizabeth and the opportunity I was given to help make a difference not only in these kids lives but in our community.

There truly are not enough words to describe how incredible Elizabeth and Lori are! They have went above and beyond what I could of ever expected for my daughter. She looks forward to seeing them weekly. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for quality OT services for their children.

Simply amazing! Jacob loves the OT experience at Kids with Stride! Ms. E and Ms. Boomie are very organized in providing effective therapy that caters to Jacob. While Jacob works towards his goals while playing at the same time and even earning more free time as a reward! Jacobs desire to communicate and interact with adults has excelled since he started OT at Kids with Stride. Prior to his engagement with Kids with Stride Jacob tended to isolate himself and play with his electronics. The learning and Social experience is beneficial for all! Thank you for taking us in from day one!

My son who is 3 years old was just diagnosed with autism. So far I am quite impressed with kids in stride. They truly love their jobs and enjoy their patients. My son loves to go to his therapy and he has a lot of fun there. The staff is always courteous and knowledgeable and they will go out of their way to help.

The Team @ Kids in Stride has literally been an answer to prayer for us. We had been making weekly trips an hour in one direction to see a Pediatric OT that was trained specifically in sensory integration techniques. Since we transferred here, my son has continued to excel and reach goals much sooner than expected. Their approach and environment to tackle challenges has been nothing short of amazing and impressive. We have told our special parent friends @ Kids in Stride and how much that has helped us. We look forward to future progress that is in store for us and how Kids in Stride continues to adapt and meet our continuing changing needs and goals.
Thank you for serving the special Kids in this community.

I have two children that go to Kids in Stride. One child has ADHD and one has ASD. Since starting therapy I have seen an increase in concentration from my daughter and more positive behaviors from my son. I look forward to continued improvements in the future with Kids in Stride.

Lori and Elizabeth have changed our life. Lori is amazing with our daughter. When we started coming to kids in stride we couldn’t even go to Wal-Mart without melt downs from our daughter but they changed that. No matter what type of day our daughter has when we walk in the door they are there to listen and help. Lori and Elizabeth go beyond what you could even imagine to help their patients. It’s honestly like you become family because they care so much. So thankful to have kids in stride and the staff!
Thank you

my 3 year old son has speech therapy once a week in the children's section. Amazing work and I see results every week. 5 Star Review Doug C.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This place is WONDERFUL! Could not recommend it more highly! We moved from San Francisco to Hayesville over the summer, and we were nervous about the kind of care & support we'd be able to find for our daughter who is developmentally delayed in a few areas. She had been receiving speech and occupational therapies through a private clinic back in SF, in addition to speech + other services in her public pre-K, and we worried that we would not be able to find the same quality of therapies in such a rural area. The pediatrician we had transferred to in Murphy referred us to Kids in Stride, so we took the leap & had her begin both speech and occupational therapies there. Three months on, we could not be happier! Our daughter is always so excited to go to therapy, she LOVES speech and OT and we have seen her progress and thrive so much in such a short time. Every single person I have come in contact with there, from the wonderful therapists to the admin such a sweetheart & So helpful & communicative!, to Elizabeth, the founder, has been nothing but kind, passionate about what they do, enthusiastic about helping each kid in their care & excited to include the parents in on the process. I am so grateful we found this place for our daughter & thankful that this area has such an incredible support system for kids & families who need a little extra help!
