We improve the quality of life of children with neuromuscular disorders or other developmental delays by providing the best solutions for each child and family.

Description:
Boyer Children’s Clinic is a non-profit therapy and early childhood educational facility serving children who have neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy or other developmental delays. Our goal is to help each child reach his or her maximum potential by providing individualized care and promoting early learning and independence.

Boyer serves children from birth to teen years, focusing on children birth to three. Children and their families live in the greater Seattle area and represent a wide diversity in culture, economic background, and race. Boyer also provides select services to children without developmental delay. Children developing in a normal range are served in classroom groups, play groups and baby gym so that children with and without delays can learn together.

With a multi-disciplinary team of educators, therapists, medical practitioners, and social workers, our services support the individual, family, and community.

History:
Throughout its history, Boyer Children’s Clinic has had a major impact on the treatment of children with disabilities in the United States. Boyer has played an active role in establishing the importance of providing high-quality services in the community for children with developmental disabilities since 1942. In the 1950’s Boyer promoted acceptance of children with cerebral palsy in the public schools, and in the late 1970’s, we trained doctors to identify infants with delays at an early age so they could receive the benefits of early intervention. Today we are studying new ways to deliver community-based services and to provide the most effective support for families of children with disabilities.
