KULA has many licensed occupational therapists , physical therapists , and speech-language pathologists on staff to provide needed care to the children who qualify for therapy services.

KULA's services also include developmental/psychological testing by a licensed psychologist, nutritional evaluations and consultations, and audiological evaluations. Our whole treatment team works together and with our patients' families to make sure each child's needs are met. KULA typically treats children from birth to Kindergarten.
