Sensory Street Kids programs for children with developmental delays and speech delays

Lea Keating, LMT, is the co-founder of Sensory Street Kids. When her first son, Cole, was diagnosed with speech and cognitive delays at 16 months old, Lea set out to learn all she could about Early Intervention and how best to help Cole learn and thrive. Drawing on her background as a massage therapist (and a whole lot of research!) she incorporated sensory integration activities into Cole's daily routine and was thrilled to see dramatic results in the way he learned. After searching and searching for a playgroup that was both fun AND supported Cole's educational goals, she decided to put together a team of professionals who could fulfill that need for her own family as well as all the others who are fighting against developmental delays. Lea and her husband, Rob, have two little boys, Cole and Brady.
