Our Story
LifeLab Kids was founded to be a one-stop-shop for children with developmental disabilities at a cost that is affordable. A father’s dream of a place built to meet the needs and challenges of his autistic son came to life when founder, Jai Reddy, purchased a former church building in Ferndale, MI. From there LifeLab Kids was born and the transformation began. The building was redesigned with accessibility and fun in mind. Infused with technology + fitness throughout, the focus at LifeLab Kids is both physical and mental well-being. Our multi-disciplinary team works together; uniting physical, mental, and behavioral therapies, for a holistic approach to helping all youth succeed.
