Helping Hands Pediatric Therapy, Inc. was opened in 2001 and is solely owned and directed by Stefanie Willard, OTR/L.   Graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she is NBCOT registered and has been licensed in the states of  Tennessee, Colorado, Arizona, Indiana, and Georgia.  Her specialties include Sensory Integration, Autism, early intervention, and the Handwriting Without Tears Program.  She has over 15 years of pediatric treatment experience.

Our staff consists of both Occupational and Speech Therapists with specialties in a variety of treatment approaches and pediatric programs.  We are currently providing early intervention services for children in their natural environment,  where we meet with children’s care providers, and incorporate families into the therapy process.  This inclusive approach allows our therapists to effectively address the complex needs of each child and family.  We believe that early intervention is the best intervention.  Therefore, we work closely with local agencies and families to identify infants/toddlers and children who are at risk for language or developmental delays.  Our therapists facilitate the child to develop or improve the necessary skills for daily living through activity in the “natural setting” by working with children in their homes, daycares, schools, or Head Start programs.  We build partnerships that respect individual family needs, beliefs, cultures and values.

Each member of the professional staff  is a state licensed and certified specialist working within their chosen field.  As nationally certified therapists, our experience is regularly reinforced through continuing education, training, and participation with professional organizations.  Active involvement in the professional community joined with a commitment from the heart enables HHPT professionals to offer the highest quality of services possible.

We believe that the most effective therapy occurs in a client’s own community where learned skills will be used.  The professionals of HHPT travel to daycare centers, homes, and private schools to provide services in familiar surroundings for client convenience.
