Thoughtful Therapy. Meaningful Progress.

Serving Families in Western Michigan Since 2007.

Growth looks different for every person. Our care does too..

At EnCourage Institute for Teaching and Learning, we bring together educational therapy, ABA therapy, developmental therapy, occupational therapy, and social work under one roof—so children, adults, and families receive the coordinated, compassionate support they deserve.

Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis, seeking early intervention, or looking for a more whole-person approach, we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Working together to support

Built Around the Person
Not the Diagnosis

At EnCourage, care is never one-size-fits-all. Our interdisciplinary team brings together educational therapy, developmental and relationship-based therapy, occupational therapy, social work, and ABA services—coordinated as one team around each individual's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

We focus on building real, lasting capacity that shows up at the dinner table, in the classroom, and on the playground—not just in sessions. Our certified educators are clinicians in their own right, bringing specialized skills that bridge learning, development, and everyday participation. And because your insight as a family is essential, not just welcome, we build our work around you from the very start.

Whatever brings you to us, we are here to walk alongside you—with warmth, expertise, and genuine care.
