It brings together pediatric therapy companies, clinicians, parents, caregivers, researchers, and other industry leaders committed to improving access to high-quality care for children.<\/p>\n<p>Pediatric therapy does not receive enough attention despite the enormous need. Families often face long waitlists for speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapy\u2014in some communities, children may wait months or even years for an appointment. These delays can cause children to miss critical opportunities for early intervention.<\/p>\n<p>The Pediatric Collective was created to help change that.
