Three young girls, patients of Sammamish Children’s Therapy

SCT offers a variety of workshops and community talks for parents and educators. These events offer tips for raising children with special needs, strategies to support therapy at home and techniques to improve communication skills for every child.

We offer these community classes because we know that your child's chances for success are improved with active involvement from parents and other family members. Anyone is welcome to attend our courses, even if you're not a client.
