Pediatric Therapy Near Me

Pediatric therapy clinics by state

Every clinic counted here sees children and was checked against its own website. Open a state to see its cities; each link goes to that city’s list of speech, occupational or physical therapy clinics.

Speech, occupational or physical therapy: which does my child need?

Speech therapy. Speech-language pathologists assess and treat speech sounds, language, literacy, social communication, voice, fluency such as stuttering, and feeding and swallowing (ASHA).

Occupational therapy. Occupational therapy helps people of all ages take part in daily living: the things they need and want to do each day (AOTA).

Physical therapy. Pediatric physical therapists care for children from birth to 21, working on motor development, developmental milestones, mobility, strength and endurance. They see children with developmental delay, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, orthopedic conditions and other needs (APTA).

Many clinics offer more than one kind of therapy under one roof. Choose one in the search above, or leave it on Any therapy to see them all.

Under 3? Early intervention is in every state

Every state and territory runs an early intervention program for infants and toddlers from birth through age 2 with developmental delays or disabilities (ECTA Center). These publicly funded programs are free or reduced in cost for any eligible child, can include speech, physical and occupational therapy, and a doctor’s referral is not necessary: you can contact the program yourself (CDC). Find your state’s early intervention program.

What to ask when you call a clinic

• Do you see children my child’s age, and for these needs?
• Do you take my insurance or my state’s Medicaid plan, and is there a waitlist?
• Do you start with an evaluation, and what does it involve?
• Is therapy in the clinic, by telehealth, or both?
• How will you share progress and things to practice at home?
