Therapy

ABS Kids provides autism diagnosis, ABA therapy, and community integrations to support you and your child every step of the way. We collaborate with doctors, caregivers, schools, and family members to provide the most comprehensive care possible, focusing on skill development, independence, school readiness, and reduction of challenging behaviors.

Parents, caregivers and guardians, does your kid with “different” needs have difficulty sitting upright in a chair, gripping objects without dropping them, playing with a ball, climbing stairs, walking in the community without falling, running with classmates on the playground, sleeping, maintaining a healthy weight, or tolerating medication? Holistic play therapy is a superpowered combination of physical therapy, therapeutic yoga, and clinical Pilates that improves physical and mental health. It is exclusively provided by Dr. Nekita Sullivan in the natural environment of your home. Dr. Nekita recognized during 25 years of practice that kids are more likely to participate in therapeutic exercise that is play-focused.

She is currently accepting kids with “different” needs. Each holistic play therapy session is 60 minutes of one-on-one prescribed exercise for a flat fee. Kids with “different” needs can make great progress with therapeutic exercise that is not cookie-cut. Kids deserve to thrive and not just get by. Contact Dr. Nekita Sullivan by email at info@yogatherapybar.com or text (864)906-5045. Movement is medicine for the body and mind!
