IMPACT provides therapeutic treatments for children with special needs in one central location.

IMPACT was started in 2006 to provide a central location where families could receive high-quality therapeutic treatment by individually licensed therapists for their children in one central location. The need was so great, that the company quickly expanded to include Speech, Physical and Music Therapy. As the needs continued to grow so did our services with the addition of IMPACT Academy in 2011 and IMPACT Preschool in 2012.

Preschool

IMPACT Preschool was founded to meet your child’s every need. Providing an inclusive atmosphere and catching any developmental concerns early is of paramount importance. We utilize a team-based approach to programming and care. Children are immersed in daily adventures of hands-on learning experiences and opportunities that foster each child’s optimum participation and social, emotional, and developmental growth. We use the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards, Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG) Objectives for Development and Learning (ODLs), and VPK standards to govern and guide our instruction within the Beyond Centers and Circle Time (BCCT), Creative curriculum and Conscious Discipline framework.

Academy

Impact Academy is a non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt organization incorporated in November 2009. Our school was founded on the premise that children with disabilities and their families need one main location that encompasses quality therapies and interventions, progressive and life-skills education, and behavioral services. The goal of IMPACT is to provide all services needed by children with disabilities and their families.

Community

IMPACT Community will bring the community together in one place to engage in diverse programs that promote independence, education, and personal success for all individuals of all abilities.

Within the IMPACT Community, our goal is to create an environment where ALL individuals can learn within their individual life journey. In the IMPACT Community, individuals will obtain life skills training to be demonstrated and utilized throughout all walks of life. This training will increase the community’s knowledge, understanding, and empathy, and create a desire for change and education for future generations.

Our interdisciplinary approach allows children the opportunity to develop and enhance developmental skills through a play-based approach while working with their therapist in an inclusive and nurturing setting. As a team, the therapists collaborate with families, teachers, and fellow therapists to ensure that developing skills are carried over into their natural environments into a variety of settings.

The positive energy the staff brings to the center every day, helps you know your little one is being well taken care of. Everyone at the center have truly become a part of our family now and we will be forever grateful for each and every one of them. Everything is so great that now we are also looking forward to their after school program!

I can’t say enough great things about The Summer Escape program! Trusting people when you have a child with special needs is often a scary thing. You want to make sure the people surrounding your little one are kind, caring, and able keep them safe. We are so lucky to have found this program and love all of the people who help run things.

The most comforting aspect as a parent, is knowing that my son is in an environment where he can learn and is understood. I am very thankful for the school's mission to educate kids with learning differences and the teachers and administrators that make this happen every day.

We struggled with the school placement decision, because we wanted to find the right school that would be a good fit for our son. I am so glad that we chose IMPACT. [...] His teachers have been amazing, and we have seen progress in his ability to focus, independently complete classroom assignments, appropriately interact socially, and speech improvement. They have put the time and effort towards his individual needs, and we are reaping the rewards.

We struggled with the school placement decision, because we wanted to find the right school that would be a good fit for our son. I am so glad that we chose IMPACT; they are so helpful, caring, and understand my son’s specific needs. They have accommodated his needs on so many levels, which I believe would have been unmet at other schools.

The environment is inclusive, safe and our son looks forward to his sessions. We are very thankful for the summer camp programs. The VPK program was amazing for him as well.

Our son has a rare genetic syndrome, delayed development and learning disabilities. We have been bringing him to IMPACT Tallahassee since he was 1-year-old and he will soon be 10. The staff in the office, the teachers, the aides are all amazing with the children; I'm very impressed with their professionalism and compassion. I personally recommend IMPACT to people on a regular basis.

IMPACT Tallahassee and their staff have become such an important part of our lives over the last 9 years. We couldn't imagine not being there on a weekly basis.
