About APT

Excellence in Pediatric Therapy with a passion for serving our kids and communities.

At Associates in Pediatric Therapy (APT), we believe every child deserves care that feels personal, caring, and fun. Since opening our first clinic in Shelbyville, KY in 2008, we’ve loved helping kids grow, gain confidence, and celebrate every milestone, big or small. Therapy isn’t just about skills; it’s about connection, trust, and making sure each child feels understood. That’s why our therapists take the time to really get to know each child and their family. It’s this commitment to individualized, family-focused care that has allowed us to expand our services into Indiana and Tennessee, reaching more families who need pediatric therapy.

Every child is unique, which is why our team creates individualized therapy plans tailored to each child’s needs, strengths, and interests, and families are always part of the journey. Our clinics are warm, welcoming spaces where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to come each week. Whether you’re a parent looking for care, a provider hoping to collaborate, or someone thinking about joining our team, APT is a place where kids thrive, families feel cared for, and our team is proud to make a difference every day.

Every child’s journey is personal—and we’d love to be part of yours.
