Joya Child & Family Development, formerly known as Spokane Guilds' School and Neuromuscular Center, is a non-profit pediatric therapy provider and Neurodevelopmental Center of Excellence located in Spokane, Washington. Dedicated to igniting hope and establishing lifelong skills, the organization serves infants and toddlers from birth to age three with developmental delays and disabilities, as well as children ages three to five through its JumpStart program. Joya is committed to removing barriers to care and ensuring every family has access to the support they need, regardless of their ability to pay. The school offers a comprehensive, team-based approach to pediatric care, delivering top-quality occupational, physical, and speech therapy alongside special education services. Each child’s journey begins with a thorough evaluation by a professional team consisting of a special education teacher, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist. This assessment leads to the creation of an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) tailored to the unique strengths and needs of the child and their family. Specialized services also include medical evaluations with a Medical Director, aquatic therapy, feeding team specialists, and autism screening. Joya's instructional and therapeutic approach is family-centered and designed to meet families where they are, whether at home, in daycare, or at their facility in Spokane's University District. By using therapeutic play in natural environments, the program equips parents and caregivers with practical skills to support their child’s development beyond the clinical setting. The organization emphasizes the importance of the early years—birth to three—as a critical window for brain development and provides year-round support to maximize each child's potential. The facility at 1016 N. Superior St. serves as a community hub, offering not only specialized therapy but also free community playgroups open to the public. These groups connect families with essential resources and provide a sense of community even if their children are not formally enrolled in Joya's programs. Joya relies on the generosity of the Spokane community to sustain its mission, ensuring that its essential early intervention services remain accessible to all children in the region.
