Since 2016, Game Changer Therapy has grown from a single occupational therapist working out of a children's museum into a 200-plus team across five clinics in the Great Lakes Bay Region — all built around one idea: therapy your child will look forward to.
In 2016, occupational therapist Scott Staszak started providing therapy in homes, in the community, and inside the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum. He watched children make real, functional gains when therapy looked and felt like play — using the museum's own exhibits as part of each session.
That idea became Game Changer Therapy Services, and it still shapes everything we do. Nearly a decade later, the same play-based philosophy powers five clinics across Bay City, Saginaw and Midland. We bring occupational, speech, physical and behavioral (ABA) therapy together under one roof, building one functional, community-focused plan for each child — including autism-based services.
Two statements have guided Game Changer since day one — one describing the work we do, the other describing the difference we intend it to make.
Game Changer Therapy Services provides skilled occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, respite and applied behavior analysis services in the Great Lakes Bay Region. We utilize multiple clinic environments for outpatient, home, and community based settings for children and youth up to age 21 years old.
Game Changer will systematically increase the quality of life, social interactions, and daily independence for Great Lakes Bay Region youth with developmental delay and emotional impairment.
Bright, wood-trimmed spaces across Bay City, Saginaw and Midland — sensory gyms, climbing walls and quiet one-to-one rooms, all under one roof.
It's been such a great experience seeing something I am so passionate about help so many families in our community.
Scott Staszak Founder & Occupational Therapist"We combine comprehensive pediatric and early-adult therapy services with each child's interests to maximize outcomes." That founding promise — from Scott and co-owner Kellie Staszak — still guides every plan we write today.
Five commitments shape how our therapists show up for every child, family and teammate — from the first phone call to the last high-five of the day.
We were founded on a simple conviction: every person deserves to live life to their fullest potential. Our integrated, play-based approach is built to unlock it.
Collaboration is the heart of what we do. We partner with families, caregivers, teachers, physicians and insurers so a child's plan works everywhere they go.
We believe in play-based therapy because it delivers real outcomes — and we never stop learning, training and improving on what the latest research shows.
Respect is our foundation. We honor each child's unique needs and each other's passion and commitment to helping families live their fullest lives.
Families deserve integrity. Your child's needs sit at the center of every business decision we make — always.
More than 200 professionals work across our five clinics, and every child is supported by a multidisciplinary team: BCBAs and ABA supervisors, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, physical therapy staff and clinic coordinators — all working together under one roof.
