Helping You Help Your Child
Founded in 2006, A Step Ahead Pediatric Therapy is a comprehensive pediatric rehabilitation practice that provides quality therapy services to children with developmental needs in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area.
At A Step Ahead, we realize that special needs not only affect the child, but the entire family as well. Our goal is to ease this difficulty by working with each child and their family to achieve self sufficiency through increased independence. We work toward objectives that apply directly to the child as well as build a custom program that will help the parent create therapeutic opportunities for their child outside of therapy sessions.
We at ASAPT are dedicated to "Helping You Help Your Child."
