My son was so lucky to have the benefit of working with the therapists from Voorhees pediatric rehabilitation Services. They were able to make a huge impact on my son at a very young age and helped him to attain both the development skills and confidence he needed to realize his full potential. Our family is forever grateful to them for all their wonderful help and support!

For more than 20 years the Voorhees Township School District has contracted with Voorhees Pediatric Facility to provide speech, occupational and physical therapy services to our students with special needs. They are most responsive in coordinating services and solving logistical issues. Their therapists are highly skilled and most respectful in their work well with children, staff, and parents. We appreciate their efforts in creating such a wonderful, professional relationship with our district.
