OUR MISSION
PROVIDING HOPE
Our mission is to provide the Bartlesville area with child-centered therapy from birth to 21 years of age.
Our team goal is to promote development, healing, and HOPE for families.

Our belief is "When the world says give up, Hope whispers....give it one more try.” We strive to achieve this standard through close collaboration between our team, our patients, and their families.
GROWTH AND INDEPENDENCE
Our experienced pediatric occupational and speech therapists strive to help each child to grow developmentally, play, explore, engage in new activities, develop new life skills, communicate with the world around them, and ultimately increase their independence.
​
We believe in evidence-based practice and seek to educate, facilitate, and promote developmentally healthy lifestyles for all children within our community. It is our greatest joy to see your child gain confidence and reach their potential with personalized therapy.
We strive to be an efficient and cost-effective practice in meeting the needs of children through all stages of development. As therapists, we work as a team and value the contributions of all of our staff in providing excellent therapy and service.
