The Launchpad clinic is located in the building of Kelly McKinnon & Associates, Inc. Collaboration between our occupational therapy team and Kelly's social skills team occurs on a daily basis.

If your child is in multiple aspects of the clinic, monthly team meetings to coordinate care among the clinicians occur to ensure comprehensive services.

Our Mission:

Kelly McKinnon & Associates provides a comprehensive assessment and therapeutic setting to support children with needs, including children diagnosed on the autism spectrum,  with ADHD, developmental delays, and other social-language concerns.   Because of the breadth and comprehensiveness of our clinical team, children can utilize one, some or all of the services provided to target their individual needs.

An atmosphere of support, collaboration and training is fostered at our clinic.  We work diligently to bring you the latest information on new developments and research, and information can be found and borrowed at the clinic. Our comprehensive services offer a unique opportunity for parents to have all of their child's needs met with one team at one location while allowing our clinicians the chance to share ideas and work together toward your child's treatment.

Free monthly parent training, summer camp opportunities, sibling clubs and sexuality training classes all help foster an atmosphere of support and community. Friendships have been forged, with many children in our clinic having play dates, sleep overs and birthday parties with friends they have met here!
