About Us
Founded in 2023
By a dedicated team of pediatric physical therapist, pediatric speech therapist, special educator, pediatrician, and parents of children with disabilities, Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy has grown to be a team of 21 experienced therapists who work together to bring a love for children and progressive, innovative ideas together in order to help our clients achieve their goals.
Since our start, we have opened our spacious, well-equipped clinic with devices such as LiteGait and SoloStep, a wide variety of therapeutic toys and activities, multiple iPads set up for AAC device trials and a large, open sensory room.
We are running multiple skill groups each week and holding monthly developmental screenings, monthly caregiver trainings, and offering weekly respite sessions.
This summer, we introduced therapy intensives to NH with wonderful gains made by each client who participated in an intensive week or multiple weeks of services.
At our clinic, we are now averaging over 360 therapy sessions each month and services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, augmentative and alternative communication with therapists trained and certified in a wide variety of innovative practices.
