About All For Kids Pediatric Therapy Clinic, LLC
All For Kids Pediatric Therapy, LLC is the vision of two friends and therapists, Erin Cowell (an Occupational Therapist) and Tracey Keaton (a Speech Therapist). It was born from the desire to simplify the lives of families, especially those with children receiving more than one service, and is founded on the principle that whatever is best for the child should be the most important consideration. Together, Erin and Tracey launched the company in September of 2005.
The owners have carefully recruited therapists and staff members who demonstrate an innate ability to work effectively with children, from infancy to adolescence. Growing steadily since 2005, All For Kids has developed a reputation for responsiveness and professionalism and strives to coordinate efforts in order to provide cohesive services.
Both Erin and Tracey are mothers, so there is a true appreciation for the juggling act that parents of children with special needs face day-to-day. The clinic tries to be as flexible and accommodating to parents as possible. All For Kids, from the beginning, has been a Medicaid Provider and makes every effort to work with families to assist them in getting the financial assistance they need.
Today, All For Kids is continually adding auxiliary services such as Aquatic Therapy, DIR®/Floor time™, Therapeutic Listening, and other innovative approaches to rehabilitative treatment. They are also dedicated to the continued education of their skilled staff of occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech therapists, while committed to pursuing therapists who will add to the experience and treatment styles offered at their clinic.

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with you, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon your strengths. If there are others part of your care team, the therapist may teach strategies for supporting your individualized needs at home and may recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help you thrive.
Monitor your progress. You can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure you're achieving your short and long-term goals.
The price of swim lessons can vary depending on where you live and what sort of program you decide to enroll your child in. A group lesson at a public pool may cost as little as $10 per lesson while a one-on-one lesson at a private pool may cost upwards of $100 per lesson.
Community centers often offer discounts to local residents, and most YMCAs offer sliding-scale fees based on your family’s household income. If you have more than one child, many swim programs offer discounts for enrolling siblings together.
