Jun. 7—Hogg Therapy, which provides speech, physical and occupational therapy to children of Madison County, opened their newest location today.

The opening provided a few hours of fun for their patients through bouncy castles, face painting, and snow cones at their new facility.

Located at 400 Farris Parks Boulevard, the therapy center will now be closer to their many patients in Richmond. The center works with children from ages 0 to 21, if needed. Hogg Therapy helps families with child diagnosed with ADHD, autism, down syndrome and sensory processing disorder or children needing occupational, speech therapy or social skills training.

Their website also has an interactive child developmental checklist for parents to see if their children are on track, what areas could be improved, and what their options are.

Jennifer Howler, co-owner of practice location and occupational therapy, said the business need more space after their other locations became overwhelmed.

"We started in Berea and then the demand was just so hot. So many kids are driving from Richmond," Howler said. "We decided to open a small office in Richmond to see how it did and then we outgrew it really quick."

Their facility was open for three years in Richmond, before they moved to their new location due to high demand. The new location has a large playroom with a slide and an outdoor area for play.

"It's cool because our kids receive multiple services," Howler said. "It's really like a big, collaborative team to try to figure out what's best for the child. So we use a play approach, obviously, to help kids meet their goals by playing, because what three-year-old wants to sit down and just through speech?"
