Wichita, KAN., August 6, 2024 – Heartspring, a leading provider of therapies and special education for pediatric neurodevelopment, has earned a Three-Year Accreditation from CARF International for its Pediatric Outpatient Clinic and Residential Program within its Therapeutic School.
A Three-Year Accreditation is the highest level of accreditation CARF International can give an organization and shows Heartspring’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. Organizations receiving a Three-Year Accreditation have gone through a rigorous peer-review process. During an on-site visit, Heartspring demonstrated to a team of surveyors its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable and of the highest quality.
"This accreditation strengthens our trust with families and supports our reputation as experts in our field," said Moniqueka Holloway, Heartspring Chief Compliance Officer and Executive Director of the Therapeutic School. “CARF accreditation promises to be one of many milestones as we continue to build our organization for leadership in pediatric neurodevelopment.”
Heartspring’s Pediatric Outpatient Clinic specializes in interdisciplinary therapies for pediatric neurodevelopment. Children gain confidence to learn and build functional skills in an engaging, therapeutic environment. Children and families have access to the latest evidence-based resources and care, complete with a wheelchair-accessible treehouse, therapy playground, fully-equipped physical therapy gym and audiology suites. Located at 29th & K96, we see children with or without a specific diagnosis who need Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Therapy, Feeding Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Audiology, Behavioral Health or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Heartspring’s Residential Program within its Therapeutic School provides special education optimized for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Their approach integrates evidence-based therapies with innovative support models so students build communication, social and self-care skills alongside their education.
CARF International is an independent, nonprofit health and human services accreditor whose mission is to promote the quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process and continuous improvement services that center on enhancing the lives of persons served.
