Who is this for?
At Foundation First Physical Therapy, we work with children with disabilities and developmental delays—and the incredible parents who support them every day. If you’re looking for expert pediatric physical therapy that comes to you, you’re in the right place.
We’re here to help if your child is experiencing:
🧩 Delays in motor milestones like crawling, sitting, or walking
🧩 Difficulty with balance, coordination, or strength
🧩 Challenges with mobility, walking, or using adaptive equipment
🧩 Limited participation in daily routines, play, or school activities
🧩 Physical discomfort, abnormal movement patterns, or regression in skills
And you, as the parent or caregiver, may be feeling:
❓Overwhelmed trying to coordinate care
❓Unsure how to help your child make progress at home
❓Tired of driving to appointments that don’t fit your schedule
❓In need of support, reassurance, and someone who understands your child’s unique needs
At Foundation First, we offer individualized, in-home pediatric physical therapy designed to support your child’s development in a way that feels natural, encouraging, and empowering—for your whole family.
We’ll work together to build a plan that fits your life, addresses your child’s goals, and brings care into the comfort of your home—so you can stop guessing and start seeing progress.
How can we help?
Pediatric physical therapy the way it was meant to work — in your home, with your child, and with you as a real part of the process.
At Foundation First, I provide in-home pediatric PT for children with disabilities, neurodivergent profiles, and complex medical needs. But the way I practice looks a little different than what you might be used to.
Every session is play-based and child-led. I follow your child's interests, honor their neurology, and build goals around what actually matters to your family — not a generic developmental checklist. I work in your home because that's where real life happens. That's where skills need to stick.
And because I believe therapy only works if it works at home, coaching is built into every session.
You won't sit in the corner and watch. You'll be part of the work. I'll help you understand what we're doing and why, how to carry it into the other 167 hours of the week when I'm not there, and how to set up your home and your routines to support your child's development every single day.
That's not an add-on. That's how I practice.
What we work on together:
🧩 Strength, mobility, and motor development
Functional goals built around your child's real life — movement that matters, not just movement for its own sake.
🧩 Positioning and home setup
Your environment can either support your child's development or work against it. We look at your space and make it work for your family.
🧩 Play-based, neuro-affirming therapy
Child-led sessions that follow your child's interests and honor how their brain works. No forcing. No compliance-based approaches. Just connection, engagement, and progress.
🧩 Therapy carryover and caregiver coaching
The strategies that make the biggest difference happen between sessions. I'll make sure you know exactly what to do, how to do it, and how to build it into your daily routine without it feeling like one more thing on your list.
🧩 Care coordination and advocacy
I don't just show up for sessions and leave. I look at the whole picture — your child's team, their equipment, their school environment — and help make sure everything is working together.
The goal isn't just progress in PT. The goal is a daily life that feels more manageable for your whole family.
