Therapy That Meets Kids Where They Are
When you’re looking for therapy for your child, you’re looking for more than a spot on the calendar.
You want a caring team that comes alongside your family, helps your child build confidence, and creates a plan that feels doable for real life.
That’s where Building Blocks Therapy Services shines.
Whether you’re searching for occupational therapy, speech services, reading and literacy help, feeding services or autism support, they are ready to lend a hand.
“We are about way more than just therapy,” says Courney Joesel, therapist and owner. ”We meet our patients and their families to find out how we can help; it’s a journey.”
Personalized Care With Innovative Tools
Building Blocks goes beyond tried-and-true therapy techniques by staying up to date on the latest tools and technology.
That means families can feel confident their child is receiving thoughtful, personalized care designed to help them gain confidence.
Ultrasound Biofeedback: A Different Approach to Speech Therapy
Ultrasound biofeedback gives kids a real-time view of their mouths during speech therapy.
Using a small probe under the chin, they can see how their tongue moves on a screen while practicing tricky sounds and learning new placement strategies.
This evidence-supported tool is really helpful for persistent speech sound errors, including /r/ sounds, that are difficult to correct with traditional therapy.
While ultrasound technology is still uncommon in most speech clinics, Building Blocks Therapy Services is excited to be one of the first private therapy practices to bring this innovative option to the community.
“We are seeing huge changes very quickly,” Joesel explains, “It’s making a big difference in the confidence of kids and adults, especially teens.”
More Ways Building Blocks Can Help
Building Blocks Therapy Services offers support for children and families at every stage, from infants who are struggling with feeding to kids who need help with picky eating. They also help with tongue ties, speech, reading, or sensory needs.
But Building Blocks is about more than speech therapy. They also provide autism services, occupational therapy for fine motor and sensory skills, literacy and reading intervention, and feeding therapy.
Each child has unique challenges and the therapists work together to help each family get the personalized support they need as their child learns, grows, and gains confidence.
Why Choose Building Blocks Therapy Services?
Building Blocks Therapy Services has been around for over eight years and has expanded from just the owner, Courtney Joesel, to a group of nine different therapists.
The team is passionate about their patients, working together to give each child and family the support they need to learn, grow and thrive.
Each patient is unique, so each therapy plan is too! Therapists work with families to ensure therapy is helping while creating strategies that build independence and confidence.
“We love what we do,” Josel says. “We are so excited to support West Michigan families.”
