Choosing the right therapy setting can feel overwhelming. There’s no single “best” option — the right setting depends on your child’s needs, your family’s schedule, and the services available in your area. Below is a brief overview of the most common therapy settings.

Therapy services are delivered in a classroom-like environment with built-in routines, structured schedules, and opportunities for peer interaction.

Children attend weekly therapy sessions at a clinic, often with greater parent involvement and scheduling flexibility compared to center-based programs.

Therapists come to the child’s home to work on skills in a natural environment, ideal for children needing daily routine support.

Therapy is provided during the school day through an IEP. It focuses on supporting educational success and classroom participation.
