Children's Center for Specialty Services

It is the mission of the Children’s Center for Specialty Services to provide the highest quality Speech-Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy services to children of all ages. Services can be delivered at our modern, well-equipped and conveniently located Center at Old Emmorton Commons in Bel Air. We are committed to the prevention, early identification and remediation of problems which interfere with a child’s normal development.

The Center is especially unique in that it offers the specialty services of Speech-Language Pathology, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy through one organization assuring integrated, comprehensive care for the children it serves.
