Your child shouldn't lose months
to a waitlist.

New Hampshire has excellent pediatric hospital systems — Dartmouth Health Children's (formerly CHaD), Elliot Hospital, Catholic Medical Center, and Exeter Hospital. They also have persistent waitlists, often 3–6 months for outpatient therapy. Coral Care works differently. We match your family with a licensed therapist in your area, verify your insurance, and have someone at your door in about two weeks.

No waitlist — 2 weeks, not 6 months

Dartmouth Health Children's is excellent — but faces demand that outpaces capacity across the state. Most families wait 3–6 months for an outpatient therapy evaluation. Coral Care can typically match you in 2 weeks.

Your home is the therapy room

Kids make faster progress in familiar environments. No long drive up I-93 or across the state to Lebanon. No waiting room meltdowns before the session even starts. Your child is already calm, comfortable, and ready to work.

Therapists who live in your town

Our New Hampshire providers live in Manchester, Portsmouth, Concord, Bedford, and across the state. They aren't commuting in — they're your neighbors, and their schedules show it.

Most families are matched and seen within 2 weeks. No referral needed.

Frequently asked questions about
pediatric therapy in New Hampshire

Does Coral Care accept insurance in New Hampshire?

Yes. Coral Care is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Hampshire, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, and Cigna in New Hampshire. Most families with in-network coverage pay $20–40 per visit. We verify your specific benefits before your first session so there are no surprises. Coral Care does not accept Medicaid.

How quickly can we start therapy in New Hampshire?

Most New Hampshire families are matched with a therapist and have their first session scheduled within 2 weeks of reaching out. You do not need a doctor's referral to get started — contact us directly and we'll take care of everything from insurance verification to matching.

What areas of New Hampshire does Coral Care serve?

Coral Care serves families across Southern NH (Manchester, Nashua, Salem, Derry, Hudson, Londonderry), the Seacoast (Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Rochester, Hampton), the Merrimack Valley (Concord, Bedford, Merrimack, Amherst), and the Upper Valley (Lebanon, Hanover, Keene). If you're unsure whether we serve your town, reach out — we're expanding coverage regularly.

What types of pediatric therapy does Coral Care offer in New Hampshire?

Coral Care offers in-home speech-language therapy (SLP), occupational therapy (OT), and physical therapy (PT) for children throughout New Hampshire. We also provide specialized support for children with autism and ADHD. Many children receive multiple disciplines simultaneously — one platform, one intake process.

Why is the waitlist so long at Dartmouth Health Children's?

Dartmouth Health Children's (formerly CHaD) is New Hampshire's premier pediatric hospital — and has a waitlist to match. Families commonly wait 3–6 months for an outpatient therapy evaluation, with similar waits at Elliot Hospital and Catholic Medical Center. Coral Care operates entirely outside the hospital system and can typically match families within 2 weeks.

What is New Hampshire's Family Centered Early Supports and Services program, and how does Coral Care fit in?

New Hampshire's Family Centered Early Supports and Services (FCESS) provides free evaluations and therapy for children birth through age 3 with developmental delays or disabilities. It ends at age 3. Many families come to Coral Care to continue in-home therapy after the FCESS cutoff, maintaining the same format (in-home, family-centered, relationship-based) without a gap in services. Coral Care also works alongside FCESS for families who want to supplement or accelerate care before age 3.

Is in-home pediatric therapy as effective as clinic-based therapy?

Research consistently shows that children make faster progress when therapy happens in the environment where skills are actually used. In-home therapy eliminates the travel stress that often dysregulates children before sessions even start. It allows therapists to work directly with your child's actual toys, routines, and spaces — and to coach parents in real time. For most children, in-home therapy produces better outcomes, not comparable ones.

Do I need a referral to start pediatric therapy in New Hampshire?

No. New Hampshire families can contact Coral Care directly, without a doctor's order or a referral from any other program. We'll verify your insurance benefits, match you with a therapist, and handle everything from there.

Still have questions? We'll walk you through everything — insurance, matching, and what to expect.

Your kid can't wait.
Neither should you.

The waitlist at Dartmouth Health Children's is months long. We can have a licensed therapist at your door in 2 weeks — covered by your insurance.
