Our mission is to help children and their families thrive by instilling a love of movement and providing tools to achieve meaningful goals.
About us:
First Step Pediatric Therapy is a therapist-owned physical therapy clinic that sees children from birth-young adulthood for developmental delays and disabilities, orthopedic injuries, gross motor skills, and so much more! We are conveniently located across the street from Evergreen Hospital, right off of 405.
Our Mission:
We seek to:
Create opportunities for children of every level of ability to engage with their community.
To be a blessing to the community by providing support and resources for all families.
To help families navigate the joys and challenges of living with a disability, recovering from an injury, learning a new skill, or learning to take that first step.
Our vision is for our community to be a place where children of diverse abilities are able to be included, grow in independence, and participate in meaningful ways.
Our Values
Imago Dei
Imago Dei means “Image of God.” We strongly believe that every person, no matter their abilities, has been created in the image of God and is deserving of utmost dignity, value, and worth.
Service
We believe in the importance of providing quality, affordable healthcare and seek to go above and beyond in putting the needs of patients and families before our own.
Community
We believe you can go further together than alone. We desire to be part of our local community, and to help our patients and families participate in the community in meaningful and impactful ways.
Lifelong learning
Medicine is constantly changing, and we seek to always provide our patients with the most up to date care. We are passionate about what we do and are always reading up on the latest research to help us treat with excellence.
Families First
You know your child best! We seek to also learn from you and your child and work towards goals that matter to you and your family through a family-focused care model.
Fun!
Children learn best when they are actively engaged in tasks and activities that are motivating and meaningful to them. Our therapists work hard to make sure every session includes some laughter!
