Listening Today. Advocating for Tomorrow. Helping Iowa's Children Thrive. 🧡💙

🧡💙 Thank You, Lindsay James , for Taking the Time to Listen and Learn! We were grateful to welcome Iowa State Representative and U.S. Congressional candidate Lindsay James to ProActive Pediatric Therapy!

We were grateful to welcome Lindsay James to ProActive Pediatric Therapy! She took time to learn more about our small business, the challenges independent pediatric therapy providers face with Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), and the growing need for accessible, medically necessary pediatric therapy services across Iowa.

These conversations matter. Behind every reimbursement challenge, authorization barrier, and provider shortage are children and families who depend on access to essential PT, OT, and speech therapy services.

Early access to pediatric therapy is an investment in a child's future. Timely intervention can help prevent or reduce long-term challenges, support success at home and in school, and build the foundational skills children need for healthier, more independent, and fulfilling adult lives—including future opportunities for education, employment, and happiness.

Access to medically necessary pediatric therapy services is not optional for the families who need them. It is critical to helping children reach their potential and thrive.

We are wishing Lindsay the very best! We hope she continues to be a champion for medically necessary therapy services and the youngest members of our state and nation.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to access the care they need to grow, develop, and THRIVE! 🧡💙

💬 ABSURD THINGS WE DO TO AAC USERS 💬

Imagine if someone took away your voice, told you when you could speak, or expected you to communicate without giving you the tools you needed. Sounds absurd, right? Yet, these are experiences that AAC users can face every day.

✨ AAC is communication. AAC is a voice. AAC is a right.

During AAC Awareness Month, let’s challenge the misconceptions, break down barriers, and create environments where every communicator is respected, supported, and heard.

💙 Presume competence.
💙 Keep AAC available and accessible.
💙 Model language without pressure.
💙 Give AAC users time to communicate.
💙 Honor every form of communication.
💙 Remember: communication is more than spoken words!

The goal isn’t to make someone communicate the way we expect. It’s to give them the access, opportunity, and support to communicate in the way that works for them.

Let’s do better for our AAC users — because every voice matters, whether it’s spoken, signed, typed, or selected. 🗣️📱💙

WHY PROACTIVE? 💙🧡

With the help of our amazing OT, Jodie, this little guy is happy, pain free and THRIVING. 💪

Thank you for allowing for us to be a part of your journey. We are SO proud and so thankful for the opportunity to watch him grow! ✨

Full Testimonial ✨
"We love ProActive therapy. They came highly recommended and have lived up to their name. Our therapist is Jodie and she genuinely cares for our little boy. He enjoys playing with toys while it helps work on his skills. Each visit, she checks his progress and addresses any developmental concerns we have. She also gives us tips for at home care and writes them down. Jodie also helped with feeding concerns and latch early on. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Occupational Therapy. Our baby was once a stiff little boy who had a hard time turning his head and is now able to move freely and is meeting milestones. Most importantly he is happier and pain free! I don't want to think about where we would be without ProActive. I am glad I listened to my mama instinct and gave them a call 7 months ago. The friendly receptionist Mallory is great to work with too."

What began as support for feeding and latching turned into so much more for this sweet family. With the help of our amazing OT, Tiffany, L has made tremendous progress, reached new milestones, and continued to thrive! 💙🧡

But the impact goes beyond developmental milestones. We believe supporting a child also means supporting the parents and caregivers beside them. Helping families feel confident, supported, and never alone in navigating new challenges is at the heart of what we do. 💚

Thank you to L’s family for sharing such kind words and allowing us to be part of their journey. We are so proud and so thankful for the opportunity to watch her grow! ✨

Full testimonial here:
"We originally brought our daughter to ProActive because she was struggling with latching and feeding, and what started as a need for support in one area has turned into so much more. Thanks to ProActive and specifically our OT, Tiffany, L has absolutely thrived. Her feeding has improved tremendously, and we’ve continued coming back because of the incredible impact Tiffany has had on her overall development. Watching her grow, learn, and reach milestones has been amazing, and I truly believe your team has played such a huge role in helping her get to where she is today. But what makes ProActive so special goes beyond what they’ve done for our daughter. They have supported me just as much as they’ve supported her. Being a first-time mom comes with so many questions, worries, and moments of uncertainty, and having a team that genuinely cares about both my baby and me has meant more than I can put into words. They have helped me feel more confident as a mom and reminded me that I don’t have to navigate every new challenge alone. I will forever be grateful that we found Tiffany and ProActive. I would encourage any family, even if their baby’s initial struggles seem small or specific, to seek out their team. ProActive doesn’t just help babies overcome challenges, they help them thrive, and support parents along the way too. That kind of care is truly invaluable!!"
