** Crossway Pediatric Therapy is a mask optional facility**
Welcome to Crossway Pediatric Therapy, where we are dedicated to fostering the holistic development of children through community and clinic-based speech, physical, and occupational therapy. With a sprawling 10,100 square feet of dedicated space, our clinic is a vibrant haven designed for children to run, jump, swing, play, climb, make friends, and most importantly, learn how to enjoy being a kid!
At Crossway, we take pride in offering comprehensive services that cater to the complete lifespan of a child. From birth and beyond, we are staunch advocates of early intervention, recognizing the pivotal role it plays in shaping a child's developmental trajectory.
Our commitment to individualized care sets us apart. Every client at Crossway Pediatric Therapy receives personalized attention and tailor-made programs crafted to address their unique needs. We believe in bridging the gaps on the journey to independence, fostering an environment where each child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Our team of dedicated therapists operates both within our clinic and in the community, reflecting our unwavering commitment to accessibility. In addition to serving clients within our walls, we extend our reach to Catholic Private schools and local preschools, ensuring that our services are available where families need them most. We are proud to hold contracts to provide therapy for Meck PreK, The Movement Schools (Freedom, Eastland, Northwest, and Southwest), and the Alexander Youth Network, further solidifying our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of children across our community.
At Crossway Pediatric Therapy, we believe in the power of collaboration, recognizing that a supportive community is essential for a child's growth. Join us in creating a nurturing environment where children can flourish, embrace their uniqueness, and embark on the path to a bright and independent future.
Founded in 2004 by Shelley Dean, OTD, OTR/L, Crossway Pediatric Therapy emerged from a passionate practitioner's recognition of a pressing need for enhanced pediatric therapy services in the Charlotte area. Shelley, armed with her expertise and a desire to make a difference, took the bold step of opening Crossway as a sole provider. This marked the inception of a journey dedicated to supporting families and children with special needs.
The name "Crossway" was carefully chosen by Shelley to encapsulate the transformative journey undertaken by families and children facing unique challenges. The image of a bridge serves as a powerful symbol, representing the child's path towards realizing their dreams and achieving independence, given the appropriate supports. This visionary approach laid the foundation for what Crossway Pediatric Therapy stands for today.
From its humble beginnings, Crossway has evolved under Shelley's guidance, growing from a sole provider practice into a thriving multidisciplinary team. The office has expanded to encompass over 10,000 square feet of therapeutic space, a testament to our commitment to providing comprehensive and effective services.
Fueled by the unwavering support and dedication of our therapists and specialists, Crossway Pediatric Therapy has continued to grow in response to the evolving needs of the Charlotte area. This growth extends beyond our clinic walls, with the establishment of Crossway Academy and Crossway Middle School, demonstrating our dedication to addressing the varied needs of children at different stages of their development.
At Crossway, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation. Our team employs multidisciplinary and educational approaches to facilitate the achievement of desired goals for each child and their supporting family. This commitment to holistic care has led to our recent partnership with Mecklenburg County Schools PreK program, where we proudly host a Meck PreK classroom within our clinic and school.
As we reflect on our journey, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide exceptional pediatric therapy services, empowering children to navigate their unique paths towards a future filled with dreams and independence. Crossway Pediatric Therapy is not just a clinic; it is a community dedicated to fostering growth, resilience, and the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow for every child we serve.
