Children learn and develop best through play experiences. This philosophy has guided Rauch's family-centered children's services since 1953. Choosing a Rauch provider for your child's early intervention needs ensures that your therapist meets the highest level of professional standards. We work to support your child socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally, which is why Rauch offers such a wide variety of services.
Early Intervention
The Rauch First Steps Provider Network consists of over forty skilled, caring therapists with a passion for working with children. We have therapists available in the fields of Occupational, Physical, Speech, and Developmental therapies. First Steps assures that all Indiana families with infants and toddlers experiencing developmental delays or disabilities have access to the services they need, when they need them.
Grow-n-Learn Preschool
Grow-n-Learn Preschool provides a positive learning experience in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The preschool is led by Developmental and Occupational Therapists and is specially designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years old with developmental delays. The therapists work with the children in small groups, usually a 3:1 ratio, to improve communication, social, cognitive, self-help, and fine, gross, and motor skills.
Skills on Wheels
Skills on Wheels is a new program with a broad focus. It serves children aged 0-17 years and is specifically designed for children that may be in Head Start, but do not qualify for First Steps or other programs. Services include but are not limited to behavioral support and intervention, speech and language therapy, and development of gross and fine motor skills. Older children can also receive homework support and participate in social groups.
Skills on Wheels is generously funded by the WHAS Crusade for Children.
Rauch Inc. offers a summer program for children with special needs. A team of dedicated and experienced teachers join forces to offer six weeks of discovery for kids with developmental disabilities ages 9-17. They use a variety of means including field trips, entertaining activities and in-house events. The goal is to develop your child's skills, broaden their horizons, increase social skills, and provide respite for families. During the camp, attendees experience sensory-motor activities, communication and social skills enhancement, and have fun! Activities include trips to destinations such as the Louisville Zoo, Louisville Science Center, Bats games, and much more.
Summer camp is provided in three 2-week sessions. Camp days begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Rauch accepts Medicaid Waiver or private pay. Please contact Amelia Williams at 812-945-4063 for rates, application, and additional information.
