Philosophy
"Forward is a pace" is a phrase that encourages runners to keep moving forward, regardless of the pace, and also applies to children in therapy. It's a reminder that progress is not always linear or swift, but rather a continuous journey of growth and improvement. By embracing this approach, we create a joyful environment that highlights the power of determination and celebrates every step forward, no matter how small.

Parent Reviews
" We are so lucky and grateful to have found PACE and get Emily for our skilled, accepting and intuitive OT! Emily takes the time to assess our daughter's many needs and creates fun and neuro-inclusive activities to help her to understand and manage some her challenges with ADHD, sensory processing, dyslexia and dysgraphia. Emily even provides us with research and science-based explanations/handouts of the root of my daughter's struggles. My daughter absolutely loves going to "play" at OT/PACE and would rather be there daily than just once a week. Also, the small, quiet office is so much better for her than the big, noisy, overstimulating larger therapy center that we started it. Everyone at PACE is truly fantastic, patient and so understanding of neurodiversity. "
" Katie built on my son's interests to make his therapy sessions so much fun! She really listened to him and paid attention to his needs. He would ask me if we could go and play with her multiple times throughout the week. My son made a lot of progress during his time at Pace. They are kind, helpful and skillful. "
" We started bringing our daughter in at around 14 months, and she just made everything about helping her build up the areas that she needed feel so much better than some of our previous experiences. From working with our schedules, to easing our worries about the outcomes, to helping our little girl make a ton of progress in a very short time, we could not be more grateful. I whole heartedly recommend her to families. Thank you Melissa and team!! "
