About Sense Able Brain

Our Mission

Sense Able Brain helps children with sensory processing disorder overcome challenges to succeed in school and life because every child deserves a bright future.

Sense Able Brain Pediatric Therapy was founded in 2010 to provide a safe, supportive space for children who struggle to thrive in typical therapy or learning environments. Many of the children who come to Sense Able Brain arrive without a formal diagnosis, but with years of challenges under their belts. These children often fall through the cracks, too unique for standard Special Education programs or community therapy services, and are frequently misunderstood or mislabeled.

Sense Able Brain takes a whole-person, neurodevelopmental approach, combining brain-based therapy, holistic methods, and caregiver support to help children succeed in school, at home, and in life. The team works closely with families to identify and address developmental gaps that can hinder progress, so children can move forward with confidence.

Sense Able Brain serves children of all ages, including those with sensory processing challenges, attention difficulties, or learning differences, as well as parents and caregivers seeking education, coaching, and support. Our therapy is personalized, compassionate, and family-centered, providing children with the skills they need while empowering parents and caregivers to support their child’s success.
