About Beyond Limits Pediatric Therapy Center
TAKING YOUR CHILD BEYOND THEIR LIMITS is not only our goal but also our philosophy at Beyond Limits Pediatric Therapy Center. We are a team that includes the child, the family, and health care professionals working tirelessly to improve the everyday life of each child that we have the privilege to serve.
Beyond Limits Pediatric Therapy Center (BLPTC) was founded in March of 2014 to provide Audiology (hearing), Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy services to children in need from birth to age 21. As the parents of special needs children ourselves, we understand the struggles and challenges families face getting the best care and how exhausting it can be to find the right therapist(s) for their child. We also realize the need to simplify things so that the families of our community, especially those with children needing multidisciplinary therapy services, can spend more quality time together rather than all of their time in a car driving from one appointment to the next. BLPTC allows all of your child’s therapists to partner with you, the parent/caregiver, to collaborate and implement plans of care and goals that best meet the needs of your child and your family all under one roof: A 9000 square foot ADA building with two 700-square foot state of the art therapy gyms with viewing windows for parents, two large comfortable waiting rooms with free Wi-Fi and a work bar in the downstairs waiting room for parents needing privacy or just a quieter experience. We have two sensory gyms for children with sensory needs, two feeding therapy rooms and multiple individual treatment rooms on both floors that are bright, energetic and fun! Just ask our families! Our therapists are board certified, have chosen to specialize in Pediatric Therapy and have received additional training and certifications in pediatric therapy. Our team of therapists will do everything in their power to meet and exceed the goals of your child. We are proud to offer individualized treatments to over 400 children each week.

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.
