Functional Kids Therapy LLC

Experiencia fantástica: Maria is a great therapist. My son calls her the "fun doctor".

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing. My son has sensory processing disorder and Maria has worked with my son to help make a huge impact in my sons life. Hats off and a big thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the best Occupational Therapist I have seen. My son has Autism and Sensory Disorder, and Maria picked up exactly what he wouldn't do and would do when it came to any exercises or sensory tools. She was very good at being able to get him engaged in an activity to evaluate him, and there was no fight from him at all. This was the first appointment he has ever left and told me he didn't want to leave. He really liked her, and we are looking forward to our next visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Our speech therapist is patient and kind. Shes worked us for several years now.

Experiencia fantástica: My son loves his therapist. Everyone there is super friendly and supportive. Great place for your kids to learn and grow.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s truly an awesome program, they are so patient with my son and they’re so understanding. It doesn’t get any better than this. Special shoutout to Heather the awesome receptionist!!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough about Functional Kids Therapy and Miss Maria. They have been a true blessing to our family, we have seen so much improvement in our child. We are forever grateful!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been taking our son to functional kids for over two years. We have seen great progress. We love the staff and the atmosphere.

Experiencia fantástica: We have our 5 month old grandson being treated at Functional Kids Therapy. Maria is fantastic! She is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond in her practice. She’s very discerning and really cares for her patients. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Going to FUNctional Kids has been life-changing for our family. Our daughter was truly struggling with emotional regulation and after just a few sessions, we were able to get answers (Irlen Syndrome) and concrete, usable strategies to implement at home. I highly recommend this OT place!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Functional Kids Therapy has been so awesome for my son! He loves going and is improving so much with his speech!

Experiencia fantástica: We have used Functional Kids services for almost 2 years with our two younger children (OT and counseling). Our kids are treated more than just a number. Miss Lori is very missed in the Battle Creek location. We are welcomed by name by amazing receptionists.

Experiencia fantástica: Functional Kids is great. We haven't been coming long but I am always greeted by Heather with a smile. Miss Melody provides both my daughter and I with tools every time we meet.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had my son at fictional kids for ot for almost a year and I have seen a big change in him. We have picked up so many new way to get him to calm down and new ways to deal with things better when he is upset. His teachers have been a real big help even on his not so good days. I strongly recommend fictional kids therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Both of my children have gone here. No complaints

Experiencia fantástica: FUNctional Kids Therapy Center LLC has made a huge difference in the short time Palmer has been there for OT. Ms Maria has been incredible with Palmer. He went from having difficulties walking to being able to confidently walk and run. His balance has improved so much, from the first session barely being able to stay in a upright sitting position on the swing, to now hanging on and feeling in control of his muscles. We are beyond thankful for the impact Maria has had on Palmer!

Experiencia fantástica: Ms. Lorry and Ms. Annette helped me so much! Sad to see Ms. Annette go. Going in the tunnel with the balls is so much fun! Thank you!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff and doing an excellent job helping my son. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: My son enjoys his sessions and the front desk ladies are very kind.

Experiencia fantástica: Have had a great experience so far taking our 8 month old son here for physical therapy. Dr. Jo is very calm and patient, does a great job calming him and encouraging him to put in the work. We have already seen him improve in his ability to sit, grasp objects and head control. Would highly recommend, and we look forward to our next appointment!

Experiencia fantástica: My son absolutely loves comin to ot every week he is much calmer after words not so aggressive and I absolutely love it I’m so glad we found this place so now he can learn how to cope better .

Experiencia fantástica: I have only been taking my 3 year old son here for about 6 weeks. I have learned so much about him and how to help him, and his behavior has improved significantly. I love the accepting, welcoming atmosphere and I love the support that my son and I receive with our OT therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: My son has been receiving services for over a year now and we cannot even begin to say how thankful we are for them in our community. Everyone has been amazing and patient as we navigate our diagnoses and treatments. Maria is amazing and has set-up such a fantastic group.

Experiencia fantástica: After YEARS of witnessing and trying to help my son with his academic, sensory, social, and self-esteem struggles, FUNctional Kids has been the answer to my many prayers and tears if I want to be completely honest. The first conversation I had with Maria, quickly eased all my worries, and I knew IMMEDIATELY that this was the right place for support for my son. My son made such a quick turnaround and SIGNIFICANT improvements in ALL the areas he had struggled for years, it was almost too good to believe. This is THE place. Every staff member is extremely knowledgeable, capable, honest, and wants to HELP your child and quickly pave and lead them to a better future. I cannot recommend this place more highly if I could. And I have the evidence. He has been a patient for only 4.5 months, and just received the best progress report and conference of his ENTIRE SCHOOL CAREER. He is in 3rd grade for reference. This also has helped him finally start to “become” his true self. All the struggles he had for years affected his personal development. He is confident, his smile is finally a TRUE one, and I can SEE my son through the clouds that have previously surrounded him. Thank you all! I will be forever grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter has been seeing Miss Lori for approximately 6 months. We had seen two different occupational therapists at Oaklawn prior to coming to FUNctional Kids (when my daughter was 3 and then again at age 5), and over time we realized that she (and we!) would benefit from seeking additional OT for her sensory and emotional needs. We truly loved our Oaklawn OTs, but I am so grateful that we tried FUNctional Kids for this third round at the recommendation of a friend who had also sought OT at Oaklawn for her son with SPD. We live in Battle Creek, but I would drive a significant distance for the quality of care that my daughter has received at FUNctional Kids. From the evaluation onward, Miss Lori has been professional, warm, kind, caring, involved, and informative. I feel incredibly empowered as a parent by the way she keeps me in the loop and provides additional tools, resources, and recommendations for us to use at home with our daughter. Our entire home has benefitted from Miss Lori’s patient, inclusive approach; she truly works with the parents to help support the child! Our daughter adores Miss Lori and has such a special connection with her. It’s a genuine joy each week to go to therapy! I’m grateful for the growth I’ve seen in my daughter - not just in her physical capabilities and increase in tolerance, but in her emotional resiliency as well. I will always be grateful that we sought this additional therapy for our daughter!

Experiencia fantástica: My son is in both speech and occupational therapy through functional kids and not only does he love going (he never wants to leave) but his progress in his speech in just the year we have been going is almost unbelievable. He has made great strides with his sensory issues through occupational therapy. All of the staff is amazing and work so well with my son.

Experiencia fantástica: Both of my kids go to functional kids. my oldest has been going since he was 3 months old for torticollis he has great range of motion now at 2 years old and continues services in OT and Speech after finding out he was hearing impaired and on the spectrum. I can now hear him say I love you momma everyday. He never talked till we started working with gretta. kimberly has helped him with several motor skills and communication skills. he can now use writing utensils without chewing on them and his meltdowns that use to last hours are down to 2 to 5 minutes. my youngest just started with kimberly but has been joining visits with my oldest since he was a newborn. I was very happy to know that we would be able to continue our adventure with functional kids instead of finding somewhere else to go. the staff is very understanding of our situation and does everything to make it easier not just on the kids but myself as well. I would never go with another center. my kids know the staff and love working with them.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Functional kids! Ms. Sarah has been working with all 3 of my kids for reading tutoring with the EBLI curriculum and they have grown so much confidence in their reading in just a short time! So thankful for her passion to help struggling kids.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Functional Kids! My son has been seeing Ms Jenn for occupational therapy for a while and has made so much progress! She goes above and beyond to build a relationship with my son so he feels comfortable with her and can focus on working hard. He had made a tremendous amount of progress with his handwriting, emotional regulation, sensory processing as well as his gross and fine motor skills! We are so grateful for Ms Jenn and Functional Kids!

Experiencia fantástica: Maria is amazing! She is informative and willing to help your child in any way she can. Her office is full of resources and equipment to help. I wish I lived closer so my child could see her on a regular basis!

Experiencia fantástica: I was literally at my wits end! I didn’t understand and was so confused on why my child was acting the way he was. My story began when my 5 year old was struggling at school. I was getting calls daily from his school and ready to quit my job and homeschool him. Then my mom said check out Functional Kids as her coworker raved about her experience and how her child was similar to my little one. So I said I am willing to try anything! I have to say it was like an answer from God! I walked in and by the end of the first session I left feeling normal again and like nothing was wrong with my child. He was ok. Maria helped me to understand what is going on and talked about how she and the other therapists can help. Let me tell you 6 months later I have seen nothing but a gift from God on how amazing these ladies are. Maria and Jen have transformed my impulsive, aggressive, unpleasant child into an amazing little boy filled with joy and happiness. He loves these ladies and asks to go everyday. I have even gained so much understanding and how to help him in certain situations. I can’t thank them enough. You are amazing!!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter has seen Ms. Maria since around two years old. She has been such a blessing to my daughter, and family. She supports the parents, making you feel not so alone when your are struggling with your child. She has helped my daughter with her sensory issues, feeding aversions and many other things as well. I appreciate how thorough she is every appointment, and holistic approach she takes in finding the best regimen for your child. I have had nothing but positive experience with the other staff as well in caring for my daughter. I love Functional Kids and highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: Maria has been so helpful to my son and family. Highly recommend functional kids therapy to anyone who is looking for great therapist for their kids

Experiencia fantástica: I am so impressed with the staff at Functional Kids! It is not everyday that you meet someone like Ms. Maria, with such a vast knowledge in Sensory differences and reflex integration and always so willing to explain what she is doing and how it can help! As a parent it warms my heart to see my children grow and improve with a smile on their faces. Thank you Functional kids!

Experiencia fantástica: Functional kids is a place of love a growth, for all in the family. No matter your need, body work, speech, vision, light therapy or supplements Maria will try it all. We have used EVERY one of these with her and now live a WONDERFUL life because of the work we did.

Experiencia fantástica: Best children's therapy that my family has ever been experienced with. In one place they provide ; speech therapy, physical and occupational therapies. The staff is extremely welcoming, highly skilled and the environment is just wonderful . I highly reccomend any child with any type of delay and parent to check out Functional kids.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Maria! She is amazing with kids! My kid has a pretty strong personality and she handles him so well! Her staff is amazing and so helpful! It's a wonderful place for pediatric therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking for the best therapy center for your child this is hands down the place to go. Whenever I recommend anything to my patients I always ask "where would I send my own daughter." This is it. You will get the best care, your child will heal and thrive through PLAY and you can be guaranteed Maria and her staff are continually learning and growing to bring this area optimal care for our kiddos. - Dr. Abby Sirovica, Owner Grassroots Family Chiropractic

Experiencia fantástica: Functional kids is AMAZING!! We have done OT and Speech at Functional kids and I am truly impressed with how much my boys have grown.

Experiencia fantástica: Functional Kids Therapy has been great for my son. They are a big part of the reason is has come so far with his issues. Both speech and occupational therapy mhas given him tools and techniques to succeed with his issues. Functional Kids Therapy has been one of the best support systems in my son's therapy plan. Not only do they work wonderfully with my son but they are empathetic and very understanding. They do what they can to make sure your child gets the care they need. They are a place that puts their clients first. They are absolutely wonderful and I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this place.. My son goes for OT and SPEECH. My son was completely non verbal a year ago and with the help Maria and Greta have given myself my wife and son he can know talk and has sign language to also talk with. I recommend this place to all of my atypical and Nero typical parent friends..

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely love Functional kids therapy! I have a daughter with scoliosis who has seen a huge reduction in pain since we started seeing Maria. My other daughter has had less joint pain and we have seen an overall decrease in GI issues. The staff is attentive and extremely helpful. They were fantastic and I’m working with our insurance as well! We can’t say enough good things about this place!

Experiencia fantástica: If you want the very best in clinical services go and see the team at Functional Kids Therapy. Such an amazing group of people.

Experiencia fantástica: The knowledge and care of the staff and Miss Maria at FKT is beyond any other facility that you will find anywhere locally. My son made amazing advances quickly, loved attending therapy, and I was able to take the education that I was being taught home with me to extend the therapy further. So very pleased that even now a couple of years later my son still remembers what he learned with Miss Maria and I can still email to ask questions. No better place to go! MUST have OT facility if your Dr recommends OT for your kiddo! Call now!

Experiencia fantástica: Functional Kids Therapy Center is amazing! I have worked both professionally and personally with the therapists at the center. Maria is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. As a professional in the field of education, I appreciate the time and commitment Maria has taken in educating me in her work with children. Many of the strategies I have learned from our interactions have found their way into the classrooms I work with each day. I highly recommend FUNctional Kids as a therapy center.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely hands down the best kids therapy center!! My son has been seeing Miss best to work with her as well. My son has also worked with Miss Jen & she is just as amazing as Maria!! My son has also worked with the PT department as well. Gail & Jessie work wonders with my little guy. Everyone on her staff treats us like family & truely cares how all of us are doing. They all work towards solutions & are willing to think outside the box in order to find whatever works for my son & our family. When you walk in you immediately feel like you're at home & part of the family. I just love all of the staff from the receptionist all the way thru everyone we've encountered. They make the billing process painless & easy. They have always made my child & our family feel like we're the most important person during our time there. We go to the Battle Creek Office.

Experiencia fantástica: Maria is totally committed to providing the latest creative and innovative care to her clients so that they can achieve their greatest potential! I love to read her clients' success on her Facebook page and share in her clients' triumphs!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Functional Kids Therapy. I have taken one of my children to Bronson OT, in the past. When the doctor suggested OT for my youngest daughter, I asked to be sent somewhere else other than Bronson. My daughter was sent to Functional kids! It has been an amazing positive adventure for my daughter, Elisha. She has sensory processing and has grown so much since she started therapy with Maria! I love Maria! There isn't any other place I would recommend! The staff is loving and caring! The best place to bring children to in need of therapy! Your children will definitely grow in development in all areas of their needs, and have fun doing it! Functional Kids is no comparison to the other therapy centers out there for children! You will NOT be disappointed at all with Functional Kids Therapy. You will see a new transformation in your children for sure! I can't thank Maria enough for the positive changes and growth in Elisha's life!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Functional Kids is AMAZING!! Maria has helped my grandchild so much with their sensory issues. My grandchild loves Miss Maria and is always excited to go to appointments with her. She is professional, innovative, fun, and loving. We’ve seen Jen, as well, and she is just as amazing. They always do their best to get us in and get the necessary services covered by our insurance. If you’ve ever worked with insurance companies, then you know this is no easy task. We won’t go anywhere else! Thanks Functional Kids! We Love You!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Functional kids therapy is like no other therapy place around !!! Maria helped my Son with his sensory issues.Maria's skills, knowledge and experience is outstanding !!! Thank you...
