Specialties
At NAPA Center, we embrace each child's differences and work with them to overcome their unique challenges. We do this by designing individualized intensive therapy programs with unique combinations of our wide range of speech, physical, occupational and other innovative therapies.
After your child's program is customized, our experienced and dedicated therapists work closely with them to empower them to meet their goals, no matter how big or small they may be. At the same time, we are always mindful of the needs of the family and even encourage family participation in some of our programs.
History
Established in 2008.
NAPA (Neurological and Physical Abilitation) Center was founded in 2008 by Lynette LaScala after spending two decades traveling around the world in search of the best therapies and treatments for her son Cody. Cody experienced a near drowning accident on his first birthday, after which Lynette made it her life's mission to help him reach his full potential and instill hope. Her journeys around the world inspired her to make the best and most innovative therapies available under one roof.
Today, we have ten locations to reach more patients. These include our original location in Los Angeles, our clinics in Boston, Austin, Denver, Chicago, and Charlotte in the United States; our clinics in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, Australia; and our clinic in London, United Kingdom.
