About

Diane Ackerman

Gabrielle Scheuler

Gabby spends time building rapport and meeting each child where they are at to help them reach their goals. We work hard during our sessions and groups but she develops creative plans grounded in play. The goal is to find the just right challenge so kids can grow while feeling successful and having fun.

“Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.”

THERAPEUTIC PLAYHOUSE SERVICES

The Playhouse was created and inspired to create opportunities for children and their families to reach their full potential. After spending years visiting with kids and their parents Gabby felt that our community was missing something, opportunity. The opportunity for kids to learn and grow among their peers in a safe and fun environment. Gabby created the Playhouse after listening to concerned parents. There wasn’t enough early childhood support or groups and then it expanded to assisting young kids navigate the social world. Each one of the Playhouse programs was created after spending time listening to a need. The Playhouse also provides family coaching because it takes a village to help each child develop the skills they need to be successful at home or school. Reach out today to learn more about what all the Playhouse has to offer. From our Language & Motor Preschool, monthly peer groups, individual in-home services or virtual parent coaching we are here to support your child and you.

“When miss gabby entered our lives over a year ago now, I instantly felt like we were taken care of, headed on the right track, in the best of hands. 

My son has done every preschool class that therapeutic playhouse has offered for over a year now and I can’t even begin to describe the changes that I’ve seen in him. He absolutely loves going, has fun and is constantly working on (and crushing) new goals. As his mom the most important thing to me is that he’s loved and cared for during his time there and I know with miss gabby, miss Michaela and the rest of the girls that it’s absolutely true. He adores them all, we both do.”

"Working with Gabby has changed our lives in a huge way. The direct impact she has had on my two sons is immeasurable! Gabby has not only helped my boys reach goals and milestones but she has also taught me so much about the world of OT and how my children’s brains and bodies function and work best. We are so thankful for Gabby’s expertise and passion and always look forward to our sessions!"

We love Mrs. Gabby!! Even from our first meeting we could feel her love for the kids (and families) that she helps! This is more than just a job to her and you can feel that! Gabby has always been a bright, smiling face, even when the challenges we were facing with our adhd and anxiety kiddo seemed so hard! We will always be grateful that we found her!
