At Mangrove Integrated we support children and their families build connection, resilience and confidence through play-based neurodevelopmental therapy. We support the sensory, motor and learning systems that shape how a child moves, thinks and connects, meeting each child where they are and growing strengths from the roots up.
Because when we strengthen what lies beneath, we support everything above.
We see development, movement, sensory processing, and emotion as connected systems that shapes how children learn, relate, and thrive. Our work is rooted in neuroscience, delivered through play, and led with compassion. Using evidence-based strategies, we gently support children and their families to navigate challenges and build strengths. We partner closely with families, schools, and therapists because lasting change needs shared insight and consistent support.
