ESP Pediatric Therapy Services

ESP Pediatric Therapy Services We provide pediatric therapy services including Speech-Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy. Our clinic is housed within St.

Lillian Academy, a full time education setting for children with communication disorders. We have been at this facility for approximately four years. Clinic patients have full access to a sensory motor gym and quiet clinic spaces as well. We also have access to outdoor play equipment including swings, slides, ladders, a rock wall, and riding toys. Our facility does not resemble a clinical setting and therefore supports growth and development in a natural setting.
