About Us

Caring. Dedicated.
Experienced. Focused.

Providing Exceptional Services since 2004.

The Talcott Center for Child Development is a privately owned, pediatric therapy center that opened its doors in 2004. The center was founded with the goal of creating comprehensive, quality programs for children with special needs, where parents and caregivers could become a welcome part of our family and feel confident that their child was receiving the highest level of care possible.

We provide a wide range of treatment options for your child including occupational, physical and speech therapy services, as well as Applied Behavior Analysis. In additional to individual and group services, we also offer a Comprehensive Autism Day Program.

The Talcott Difference

From your first phone call to our center, to your last visit, we are dedicated to making your experience with our center positive and supportive. Prior to initiating services with us, you will sit down with our administrative team to discuss your child, their joys and concerns, the path you have been traveling on and the journey you would like to embark on! It is your time, as a parent or caregiver, to openly and freely share the struggles and worries your family has faced and all the accomplishments you have experienced. It is your time to express the aspirations you hold for your child not only today, but for years to come!

During that first meeting, your child’s history will be reviewed, including their physical, social and emotional development. We will discuss previous treatment(s) your child may have received and current services they are involved in, if any. In addition, you will be educated on the services we have to offer, as well as what programming will look like at our clinic.

From there, an assessment and global treatment plan will be recommended, and your child will be paired with the therapists who may best meet their needs. By meeting with our team prior to initiating services, together we can discuss the treatment process, and collaborate on goals for intervention. Thus, expectations are clear from the start. We value the relationship you form with our center. By working closely with our administrative team, you will always have a point person who will assist in coordinating services, communicating with your clinician, and ensuring cohesive programming.
