About Children’s Therapy Center

Founded in 1993, The Northern California Children’s Therapy Center (CTC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID: 68-0309705) dedicated to providing life-changing therapy services to children of all abilities, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Guided by a volunteer Board of Directors and supported by a strong network of community volunteers, CTC delivers comprehensive physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy to infants through adolescents across Northern California. CTC also provides a variety of community-based programs that act as a early learning safety net for children and families in our region.

Since its founding, CTC has served thousands of children with a wide range of developmental delays, disabilities, and medical conditions--helping each child reach their fullest potential. Today, a team of skilled therapists and infant specialists serves over 3,200 children annually, with demand continuing to grow.

CTC was built on a powerful partnership between therapists, families, and community determined to overcome barriers to care. That mission continues today: ensuring every child receives the therapy they need, regardless of barriers of insurance coverage or financial limitations. Community support, donations, and grants make this possible, allowing CTC to maintain low overhead so that the majority of funds directly benefit the children and families served.

With services provided in clinic, homes, community spaces, and schools throughout the region, CTC creates engaging, play-based therapy experiences that make learning both effective and enjoyable. At its core, CTC exists to ensure that no child goes without the early intervention and support that can transform their future.
