Juggling Three Therapists at Three Different Locations? There’s a Better Way

If you’re a parent managing multiple therapy appointments each week, you know the routine well. Speech therapy on Monday at one clinic. Occupational therapy on Wednesday across town. ABA sessions on Friday at a third location. Each therapist is skilled and caring, but they’ve never met each other. They don’t share notes. And you find yourself repeating the same information about your child’s needs, progress, and challenges at every appointment.

It’s exhausting. And more importantly, it means your child isn’t getting the full benefit of what coordinated, collaborative care can provide.

The Challenge of Fragmented Care

When therapy services are spread across multiple providers and locations, even the most dedicated therapists face limitations. They can’t observe what’s happening in other sessions. They don’t see how your child responds to different approaches. And without regular collaboration, they may be working toward goals that don’t quite align or reinforce each other.

You become the bridge between providers, translating what the speech therapist said to the OT, explaining the BCBA’s recommendations to the physical therapist, and hoping everyone is moving in the same direction. It’s a role many parents take on without realizing there’s another way.

The logistical pieces add up too. Different appointment times at different locations mean more driving, more scheduling puzzles, and less time for everything else your family needs. Some families spend ten or more hours each week just coordinating and transporting their child to separate therapy appointments.

But the real cost isn’t just time or convenience. It’s the missed opportunities for your child’s team to truly collaborate in ways that accelerate progress and create lasting change.

What Integrated Care Makes Possible

Imagine a different approach. Your child arrives at one location where their speech therapist, occupational therapist, and BCBA all work together in the same building. They share observations. They align their goals. When your child’s speech therapist notices a breakthrough in communication, the OT incorporates it into their session that same day. When the BCBA sees a strategy that’s working beautifully, the entire team adopts it.

This is what integrated care makes possible, and it changes everything.

When therapists work side by side, they can adapt quickly to what’s working and what isn’t. They see your child in different contexts and can help skills generalize faster. Goals become connected rather than isolated. And families experience something profound: confidence that everyone is working together with a shared vision for their child’s growth.

Integration also means your child experiences consistency. The same supportive environment. Familiar faces who all know their story. Transitions between therapies that feel seamless rather than disruptive. For children who thrive on routine and connection, this consistency creates the foundation for deeper learning and growth.

How CST Academy Brings It All Together

At CST Academy, integrated care isn’t just a concept—it’s how we’ve designed every aspect of our programs. When families choose CST Academy, they’re choosing a model where ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, physical therapy, and therapeutic preschool all exist under one roof with one coordinated team.

Our therapists don’t just share a building. They share your child’s goals. They communicate daily about what’s working and collaborate in real time to support progress. When your child’s speech therapist and OT can observe each other’s sessions and share insights immediately, your child benefits from care that’s truly connected.

Families also benefit from working with one clinical team that knows your child’s full story. Instead of repeating information at multiple locations, you have one point of contact, one coordinated care plan, and regular updates that reflect input from everyone working with your child. Questions get answered faster. Adjustments happen seamlessly. And you spend less time coordinating logistics and more time celebrating your child’s milestones.

A Better Way Forward

If you’re currently managing multiple providers across different locations, you’re doing an incredible job advocating for your child. And you might also be wondering if there’s a way to get the same quality of care with less stress and better coordination.

There is. Integrated care at CST Academy means your child’s entire therapy team works together from day one, creating a connected experience that helps children progress faster and families breathe easier.

You don’t have to keep juggling separate providers. You can choose a model built around collaboration, convenience, and comprehensive support—all in one place.
