8 years ago, I opened the first brick & mortar RNH location. It was a one woman operation and I had 2 clients out the gate. Less than 1 year later, I had 30. I never could have envisioned RNH today, but I followed the needs of the families I served and we grew to support those needs. It is an honor to provide much needed services to children where their needs are our priority and parents are an integral part of the team. Thank you to the families who trusted us with their children, to the staff who shared my vision, and to my family and friends for always supporting me in my efforts.

I post this every Easter because it makes me giggle. Have a Happy Easter with your beautiful families.

MEET OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH!
Gina is our employee of the month for March! She has a passion for helping children grow and learn as she taught highschoolers with her degree in English education. After teaching in general education, she knew she wanted to explore her interest in helping children on the spectrum. Gina came to us looking for the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in ABA and has thrived ever since her first day! She is a phenomenal therapist and employee. Gina is the first to offer help and step in where needed. We look forward to continuing to watch her grow in this field and positively change the lives of her clients and their families!

MEET OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH, Aleena!

Aleena is one of our outstanding OTs at RNH! She is a compassionate, kind, and hardworking therapist who always has a smile on her face or is cracking a joke to make those around her laugh. Aleena continuously strives to make genuine and positive connections with her clients and their families in order to provide optimal, client-centered therapy. Aleena's knowledge of the occupational therapy profession combined with her use of creative interventions is evident through the progress her kiddos display. It is clear to see how the children she works with feed off her enthusiasm and energy. Way to go, Aleena! We are grateful to have you part of the RNH team!

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! MEET OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: Alyssa Lynn Erny

Alyssa is a quick learner when it comes to learning her kiddos. She succeeds not only with her regular clients but when covering unfamiliar clients as well. Her patience, problem solving, and upbeat personality shine through in each of her sessions. We are so lucky to call her a coworker, therapist, and friend!

We had an INCREDIBLE RNH Holiday Party Friday night at Opal on Pearl. Thank you to Tony and staff for incredible food, service and atmosphere. It was perfect!
These staff group pics, however, are not perfect! We either were missing people or people weren't looking or my head was tilted. But here we are, in our imperfect perfection! I am beyond grateful for every amazing woman in this picture!

Ever wonder why OTs use swings in therapy? It’s a lot more than fun!

Isn't this incredible? Communication is power and freedom. Giving a voice to kiddos with communication needs empowers them to advocate for themselves.

A little late, but we have SO MANY NEW employees.
MEET GILLIAN MAITLAND
Gillian received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, with a minor in Organizational Leadership from the University of Cincinnati, with hopes to continue her education in the near future. During her time in Cincinnati, she interned at a nonprofit organization for disadvantaged youth called Mentoring Plus. Through this experience, Gillian quickly found her passion for empowering children and adolescents to fulfill their potential. In her last year at Cincinnati, she also worked as a Behavioral Health Specialist at Cincinnati Children’s hospital, where she gained experience working with children of all ages with all different types of disabilities and mental health illnesses. Her favorite part about working with kids is watching them learn new life skills and grow as people. It is incredibly heartwarming to her knowing that she is making a difference in someone else’s life. When Gillian is not at work, she enjoys going to the gym, hanging out with friends and spending time with her dog, Gunner.

MEET OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: MADISON WHITLEY, BCBA.
When Donna and Laina interviewed Madison last winter, they knew that RNH had to have her! Madison joined the team right before Laina left on maternity leave back in January and she was able to absorb her clients seamlessly while building a caseload of her own. Madison is dedicated to her clients, is a dependable and responsible employee, and is adored by coworkers, clients, and families! You can always find Madison with a smile on her face helping everyone around her at every opportunity. The world needs more people like Madison!

Our Story

Reaching New Heights offers one on one and group speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and now ABA therapy in a kid friendly setting where family involvement is welcomed and encouraged! The philosophy at Reaching New Heights is child first. We will meet your child where he or she is right now. We will develop a treatment plan based on your child's strengths and weaknesses as well as likes and dislikes. Our goal is the same as yours - to help your child reach his or her true potential. Every child is unique and every child's needs are different. It is important that therapy be motivating, engaging and FUN so your child is an active participant and wants to come to the sessions.

The clients will benefit from individually designed therapy based on an initial evaluation. This therapy can be a supplement to services provided in school or as an option for children who are not receiving school services. Additionally, Reaching New Heights offers various group sessions including social skills, kindergarten readiness, sensory, literacy, and adapted dance.

~WHAT DOES AN INITIAL EVALUATION LOOK LIKE?
After you make an appointment for your child to have an initial evaluation, a short questionnaire will be e-mailed to you. Based on your concerns, formal and informal assessment tools will be selected to evaluate your child’s speech and language skills. The assessment tools could range from something as formal as standardized tests to something as informal as observing your child interacting with you. The results will be analyzed and provided to you in an evaluation report. Based on the assessment, an individualized plan of therapy will be developed and presented to you for approval.

~WHAT DOES A THERAPY SESSION LOOK LIKE?
The typical session is 30 -45 minutes for speech, 30 - 60 for OT, and varies greatly for ABA. Consultation time is included at the beginning and end of the session. The parents or caregivers are more than welcome to stay during the session and, if they choose, to observe or participate. The therapeutic methodologies and materials will vary based on the child’s individual strengths and weaknesses as well as their interests. The therapy will be evidence based and will be designed to make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. At Reaching New Heights, the approach is eclectic, drawing from diverse theories and methods to develop a specialized means of treating each child as a unique individual. As a multi-disciplinary center, the whole child can be treated by a collaborative team.

Contact us today to make an appointment or if you have any questions at all!
