About
Hi, my name is Mackenzie. Fostering Growth was founded with the belief that children with disabilities, delays, or trauma deserve access to services that will change the trajectory of their lives by providing therapeutic interventions to facilitate the achievement of developmental milestones and social-emotional attachment skills. Fostering Growth’s mission is to ensure that children of all backgrounds and ability levels receive essential care to flourish and reach their full potential. Dr. Kent understands the challenges of this and has created a child-led environment for these individuals to thrive and obtain their milestones while fostering their ability to grow, learn, and play.
Fostering Growth provides services in-home, out in the community, and in daycares and preschools. These services are for individuals ages eighteen months to twenty-one years old, utilizing evidence-based practice techniques that promote holistic, child-led development and occupational participation while using a top-down approach to emphasize capabilities over challenges. Children of all diagnoses and ability levels are welcome here.
“We had the privilege of welcoming Ms. Mackenzie into our home for biweekly OT sessions for my twins who we adopted through foster care. She immediately became like part of the family. She exudes joy, compassion, patience, kindness, silliness, and wisdom. She finds out what the kids like and incorporates that into the therapy. Over the course of a year we quickly saw our kids meeting their goals and it was a bittersweet day when they graduated. We are forever grateful for the impact Ms. Mackenzie made in our lives!”
