A Step Ahead
Pediatric Therapy
SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Take a Step Towards Your Child's Development
A Step Ahead Pediatric Therapy was established in the year 2000 by Lisa Wagers and Teresa Rodgers. Their journey towards founding this organization began with Lisa's career as a pediatric physical therapist with First Steps, where she developed a deep sense of empathy for families who had to drive long distances to receive therapy once their child aged out of First Steps. Meanwhile, Teresa, who initially worked as a registered nurse (RN), embarked on an educational journey to acquire her Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
Recognizing a significant gap in pediatric services within their beloved community, these two dedicated sisters decided to take action. With Teresa's knowledge in business and Lisa's background in therapy, together they jointly launched A Step Ahead Pediatric Therapy driven by their commitment to making these vital services easily accessible to those in need. With their shared values and familial connection, the company places a string emphasis on the well being of families, both among their clients and their own team members. This focus on family-centered care is a cornerstone of their mission.
