Innovative Therapy 4 Kids / IT4K, Carlsbad CA

I cannot speak highly enough regarding Kimberly Quinn, OT. We took our twin 5 year olds to someone prior for 3 mos with little noticeable behavioral improvement. After spending only a few sessions with Kim, our girls have began to flourish. The main reason we went to her was to help with self-regulation and help with expediting the getting ready for school & bedtime routines. Kim ties together both the mind & body to offer practical tools, leading to solutions. Kim is the best at what she does & we couldn’t be more grateful!

I have been working with Laura Walls for about 1.5 years and cannot recommend her and IT4K enough. I originally came in for my tongue thrust but quickly realized how many other systems in my body were affected by this issue- sleeping, breathing, allergies, neck pain, etc.

I know it sounds cheesy, but Laura has changed my life. Her approach is truly holistic, and she continually explores new treatments to incorporate into her practice. For example, she recently performed a nasal cranial release on me to open up my airways and reset any asymmetries. I have previously seen ENT doctors and was recommended surgery to help with turbinate reduction and nasal valve collapse. However, from Laura’s nasal release, I am now able to breathe through my noise without resistance and no longer have nasal valve collapse when I inhale.

I hardly recognize myself from the person I was at the beginning of myofunctional therapy. I have transformed into a much more confident person with the tools to overcome my tongue thrust. Thank you, Laura and all the staff at IT4K. I can not say enough good things about this clinic!

I love working here and playing a part in the amazing work the therapists do ️

Despite the name, IT4K has treatment for adults as well. I was pessimistic that my sleep apnea would improve without surgery or a breathing machine. However, through the techniques and practices shown to me by Laura, I've made immense progress. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs oral or breathing help.

I have a long history with IT4K. 17 years ago, when my 3 year old wasn't walking or talking at developmental standards, I felt lost and confused, never mind extremely scared. As soon as I walked into the clinic and my daughter began therapy with Amy and Colleen, I felt assured she was in good hands. Their multi-disciplinary approach allowed for a cross over in therapies in a way I didn't even know was possible. The therapists always allowed me in the room and were very good at communicating progress and goals. I learned the importance of doing the home program, recognizing and fulfulling her sensory needs along with the physical and speech homework. Fast forward almost 15 years and I find myself on Laura's table finally finding relief from a 30 year old jaw injury. I, once again, was impressed by the professionalism, expertise and compassion put forth by Laura and her team. I highly recommend IT4K for families looking for care, direction and compassion.

IT4K not only helped my son, but helped my family. Once my son turned 2 and still wasn’t saying any words, I brought him in to be evaluated. The therapists helped us get to the root of the cause and worked with him on his level. I cannot thank them enough because now my son can communicate without getting frustrated. You guys are the best!

I have been working with Laura Walls for almost a year and can't say enough good things about her and the entire staff. My orthodontist recommended that I work with her for my tongue thrust. Laura has changed my life! I have spent the majority of my adult life with headaches and neck pain. Since working with Laura I no longer have neck pain, my posture has improved significantly, tongue thrust just about gone, and headaches are rare. She has improved my breathing which in turn has improved my sleep! I look forward to my sessions with Laura and recommend IT4K to family and friends. She is a miracle worker!
