Success Stories "Brittany brings so much creative fun and energy to each OT session. Just recently, Julian and Brittany spiced up the feeding session by making pumpkin pancakes and tickle-me-red popsicles. Julian loved every moment and bite! This is such a huge milestone for Julian considering just a short time ago he would gag at almost every new food item presented to him. Thank you, Brittany and Pediatric Therapies, for being a part of our journey. We are truly blessed!" -J.L. "At Pediatric Therapies, Molly has learned to self-regulate. If she needs assistance with regulation, she has learned to ask. As a family, we can travel and have more experiences because Molly can transition in ways that were not possible before OT. Her level of frustration has decreased significantly. I know that Molly has all these accomplishments because of her dedicated OT. Ms. Dana has forever changed Molly’s life. School OT’s that have evaluated Molly always comment that she has been worked with by an amazing OT. Ms. Dana has become family to Molly. They have a special bond that I am so grateful for; if it weren’t for all their hard work together, Molly would not be successful." -A.M. Above and Beyond Award!

with his cuddles. He has grown up so much and has improved in his ability to prop sit for a longer time, to grasp and release blocks accurately, to tolerate standing, and is working towards walking with a walker. He is also working on greetings through waving, signing, and the verbal approximation for ‘more’. He is a joy to work with and brightens everyone’s day.
