Miracle Kids Success Academy (MKSA) is an early intervention day treatment clinic for children with special needs. Once children are referred to MKSA by their primary care physicians, they must receive a developmental screening. Then, they may be scheduled for therapy evaluations at MKSA or bring recent therapy evaluation reports done elsewhere. To receive Early Intervention Day Treatment habilitation services, a child must have a documented developmental disability or delay, as shown on the results of an annual comprehensive developmental evaluation and qualify for at least one therapy service. Those services include (but are not limited to) fine motor delays, sensory disorders, gross motor delays, speech‑language delays, hearing disorders, feeding disorders, developmental delays, cognitive delays and medical needs.
