LOCAL WOMAN’S SMALL BUSINESS MAKING BIG WAVES IN PEDIATRIC THERAPY
MetroEHS provides pediatric therapy unlike any other in the Detroit Metro area. Parents and therapists around the country take note.
Lori Shaffer, founder of Dearborn Speech and Sensory Center, Inc. and now D/B/A as MetroEHS Pediatric Therapy, started a therapy center in her basement more than two decades ago while pregnant with her firstborn. Shaffer, a licensed speech language pathologist, originally hoped to create a flexible schedule as she raised her daughters. What started as simply providing speech services from her home, swiftly transformed into a successful small business model as Shaffer began procuring other therapists and specialists for her clients.
Fast forward to today and Shaffer now owns and operates nine clinics around the Metro Detroit area which provide a variety of therapy services in each location, one stop shops for pediatric therapy. The MetroEHS clinics serve children with autism, other diagnoses that affect children and children who simply need some extra help. Therapy services include speech language pathology, occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy, feeding therapy, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, physical therapy, dietetic services and more. Shaffer says, “Providing a variety of services in one location is a huge help to parents and a new approach to pediatric therapy”.
MetroEHS clinics’ services are expanding to offer social work and mental health programs such as group therapy for siblings of special needs children, parent support groups, and therapy for children and parents who are experiencing anxiety in a post-COVID-19 world especially as schools reopen. “The need for behavioral therapy services is immense, but the knowledge of what’s available is limited. Facilities like MetroEHS can be life changing for some families. Some schools don’t offer services like these and even schools that do cannot offer them during the after-school hours nor during the summer months” says Shaffer. MetroEHS recently expanded to offer Physical therapy and Dietitian services. “Dietitian services are primarily for our feeding/swallowing clients. Facilities that offer multiple opportunities for assistance like Metro EHS are vital to the success of children.” Shaffer notes.
The goal of MetroEHS is to make all kids successful and to reveal the "super" in every child. “Success is personal. Success is measured in so many different manners. It can be as simple as a parent receiving a hug from their child, or as grandiose as getting accepted into medical school.” Shaffer explains. “So, our goal at MetroEHS Pediatric Therapy is to make your child successful and that success could be in our therapy room, at school, in your home, or just simply playing with their friends. Our goal is to make them and your family successful.”
