Questions families ask us first.
Do we need a diagnosis to start?+
No. Many families come to us with questions, not answers. We'll help you figure out the right next step — whether that's an evaluation, a service, or simply more time.
Do you accept insurance?+
We work with most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before services begin. We also offer private-pay options.
Can my child receive multiple services?+
Yes — and that's one of our specialties. Many children at Wayfinder will receive coordinated preschool, speech, OT, and ABA services on a single schedule. Physical therapy is planned as a future addition.
What ages do you serve?+
Wayfinder serves children ages 3–6 across our inclusive preschool and pediatric therapy programs.
When does Wayfinder open?+
We open September 2026 in Brunswick, Ohio. We're now accepting interest inquiries and family consultations.
