About APT
Excellence in Pediatric Therapy with a passion for serving our kids and communities.
At Associates in Pediatric Therapy (APT), we exist to help children live their best lives through high-quality, individualized therapy services. Since our founding, we’ve been driven by one purpose: to support families by meeting the developmental needs of their children with excellence, empathy, and a commitment to growth.
APT provides Speech, Occupational, Physical, and ABA therapy for children of all ages, in a welcoming and family-centered environment. With multiple locations across Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, as well as convenient teletherapy options, we make access to care easier for families navigating developmental challenges and long wait lists. We believe in the power of a growth mindset—not only for our patients, but for our team and the communities we serve. Our licensed therapists collaborate closely with families, caregivers, and referral partners to deliver evidence-based care and lasting results.
Whether you’re a parent, a physician, or a provider looking to make a difference, you’re in the right place.
