Haley has been a innovative OT and feeding specialist for our son for two years. Her expertise and compassionate approach have led to significant developments in OT and feeding skills. He thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Haley, and we've seen incredible progress under her care. We wholeheartedly recommend Haley and plan to continue with her services as she truly is the best fit for his ongoing development.



A Place to Grow
Putting the FUN in function, we bridge the gap between home-health and community, creating vibrant, engaging experiences that empower and connect.
Farm-to-Table Social Group Therapy
Our Farm-to-Table Social Group brings children together for hands-on agricultural education in a therapeutic, sensory-friendly farm setting. Students learn the full farm-to-table journey - from planting and harvesting to food preparation and cooking - while building real-world skills and meaningful connections.
Classes are led by Adam Dulberg, Certified Master Gardener and owner of Wonderground Farm, alongside Haley, OTD, OTR/L, CPT, ASDCS — Doctor of Occupational Therapy and specialist in trauma and autism spectrum disorders. A licensed Occupational Therapist is present at every session to ensure each child feels supported, safe, and celebrated. Small group sizes of 6–8 students keep the experience personal and engaging.
Sessions are held at Wonderground Farm in Gilbert. ESA approved. Contact us to learn more or reserve your spot!
