We truly don’t know what we’d do without Ana 💛

Ana, our administrative assistant, is such an essential part of EP. She keeps everything running smoothly, supports everyone behind the scenes, and somehow holds so many moving pieces together with grace, care, and heart.

Thank you, Ana, for all that you do!

A few of Essential Pediatrics very own clinicians SLP, Mary Liguori, and OT Caroline Ines are giving a talk about regulation and communication. They are diving into those tricky, in-the-moment situations that can escalate or shut things down… and what actually helps! Come hang with us! Link in bio.

Community, confidence, and creativity on wheels! 💚🚗
Essential Pediatric Therapy was honored to sponsor a car at the 2nd Annual Girl Scout Trefoil Derby, hosted by my daughter and her troop. Designing and building together mirrors the work we do in OT and speech—supporting teamwork, communication, motor planning, and problem-solving in fun, meaningful ways.
