We are dedicated to helping children and their families reach their peak potential through patient and family centered, play-based, speech and physical therapy.

How we help
Milestone Visits
Our therapists meet with your family and review where your child currently is regarding their physical and speech skills, provide you with a comprehensive home program to promote next key milestones, and can make recommendations for formal treatment if needed.
Speech Therapy
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologists provide assessment and intervention services that focus on helping children speak and understand language.
Benefits
There is a broad spectrum of conditions that can ail children. Having your child evaluated and treated by a therapist that understands all the different stages of development in children is essential. Pediatric physical therapy helps children to successfully and independently perform gross motor skills, functional mobility skills, and functional speech and language skills.
