About The Company
As the 30th largest employer in Wichita, KS, serving children throughout the region and country, Heartspring makes life-changing differences for children with neurodevelopmental challenges. Utilizing a unique, interdisciplinary, strengths-based approach, we assist families in discovering what their child excels at to address the challenges they need help with. We’re committed to turning possibilities into realities for every child who walks through our doors. Through our Pediatric Outpatient Clinic, Therapeutic Residential and Day School, and Community Engagement programs, we provide comprehensive support for children with neurodevelopmental delays and disorders — including autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, intellectual and learning challenges, communication challenges, motor development issues, ADHD, and more. Originally known as the Institute of Logopedics, we’ve pioneered pediatric therapies and special education throughout our 90-year history in the heart of the United States. Our founder, Dr. Martin Palmer, completely changed how children with neurodevelopmental disorders receive healthcare and education. We continue to honor his legacy of innovation and dedication to the children and families we serve within the halls of our campus and beyond.
