A multi-disciplinary team delivers services such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), special instruction, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and mental health support, all aimed at understanding each person’s needs and teaching skills that increase independence and improve quality of life. The approach centers on tailoring supports to the individual and coordinating multiple specialists under one umbrella to address behavioral, educational, and developmental goals.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The June 2023 Westchester Therapy Solutions acquisition expands specialty capacity and referral reach.
  • Family of Kidz serves multiple locations, including Westbury, Garden City, New Hyde Park, and White Plains.
  • Its services match rising autism and early-intervention demand across Long Island families.

What critics are saying

  • Heavy New York public reimbursement ties services to CPSE, NYSED, and county funding.
  • An 82-plus-job hiring footprint signals staffing churn and margin pressure in 2026.
  • A regional-services model concentrates risk in Long Island school-contract demand and state rules.

What makes Family of Kidz unique

  • Westbury-based Family of Kidz spans speech, OT, PT, ABA, mental health, and special education.
  • OPWDD lists Kidz Educational across Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester, reinforcing local breadth.
  • The company still hires aggressively, with 102 Westbury-area openings in May 2026.
