From beginning to end, our pediatric therapists will go above and beyond to achieve the true potential of each child we see. Pediatric Therapy Associates is the premier outpatient pediatric rehabilitation clinic in South Carolina. We have two locations in Aiken and Lexington. We believe in a patient-driven, patient-centered model of care. All three branches (speech therapy, physical therapy, and o
ccupational therapy) work in conjunction to provide the most complete plan possible. Our highly-specialized therapists and early interventionists provide a full range of services for children ages 0 to 21 who need additional care and support in their development and progress. We pride ourselves on being one of the only facilities to offer multiple services specializing in pediatric rehabilitation and early intervention. Our “all-in-one” approach has proven to overcome particular barriers and create a comforting environment for both child and family. The creation of our TRUcare system (Therapeutic Review Unit) ensures that each child is receiving the absolute best care possible – and nothing is missed in his/her development. With TRUcare, your child’s case is discussed by therapists from all of our disciplines in order to guarantee we are working on the entire challenge facing your child. This system gives your child the best possible opportunity for successful development. Our team of specialized, licensed therapists utilizes the latest evidence-based techniques in a fun and playful environment in order to give the most effective treatment your child will love. At Pediatric Therapy Associates, your child will receive an individualized plan of care that is tailored to their specific condition and progress in therapy. Goals will be personalized and functional so you will see an improvement in the day-to-day development of your child.
