Here at A to Z Pediatric Therapy we work with children from birth to high school. While we see children with a variety of diagnoses, our therapists specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum, children with apraxia of speech, and children with feeding difficulties. We believe a multidisciplinary approach is best for children, and regularly collaborate with other professionals, teachers and caregivers. Similarly, while most clients will see only one of our therapists, we are always observing one another, discussing plans of care, and collaborating. This allows us to give our clients the best support we can provide. Meet our A to Z team below!
