Fun First Services
Fun First Therapy approaches every client, family and entity with the intent to create a positive, fun, individualized experience, while working toward the unique goals of each client, school, organization, or company. We offer services that help to improve communication skills, as well as physical, mental, and social-emotional wellbeing for individuals of all ages.
1.) Social Work & Counseling
Fun First Therapy offers social work and counseling services to individuals of all ages, including children, adults and the aging population. Our therapists are trained to work with individuals who are impacted by trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, pain management, substance abuse disorders, and relational aggression. We currently offer in-person opportunities for counseling at our Tawas location as well as virtual options for individuals and families throughout the state of Michigan. When our clients work with our therapists, our goal is to provide a safe space where he or she can be heard and work toward living a fulfilled life.

2.) Speech-Language Therapy
Communication disorders impact nearly 10% of the population (source). Our speech-language pathologists at Fun First Therapy work with a variety of communication disorders that impact individuals of all ages and stages including those who suffer from aphasia, articulation or speech sound disorders, language disorders, cognitive functioning and more. From teaching children to learn “how to talk” to helping an individual learn how to communicate again following a stroke or traumatic brain injury, our therapists are here to support you and your communication needs.

3.) Occupational Therapy
​
Occupational therapy services are provided for both pediatric and adult populations, tailored to meet their unique needs and promote independence in daily activities. Our Fun First occupational therapists primarily work with pediatric patients; however, our therapists have experience working with all ages and will treat the adult population on a case-by-case basis.

4.) Feeding & Swallowing Therapy
Difficulty with swallowing or eating can impact children and adults. Our therapists are trained to work with children or individuals who are thought to be “picky” eaters as well as those who have oral-motor difficulties that impact their ability to swallow effectively and/or safely. We also address swallowing concerns that impact adults whether it be due to trauma such as cancer treatment, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and/or difficulties that present with aging.
