Our Mission
FUNctional Pediatric Therapy is an outpatient pediatric therapy clinic that provides occupational, physical and speech therapy. Our mission is to provide our patients with the best research-based, most comprehensive and individualized therapeutic interventions in order to optimize each child's level of functionality. Our practice is focused on providing the most appropriate interventions and "just right" challenges, based upon a child's individualized needs, to ensure that every child is equipped with the skills necessary to grow and develop to their highest potential. At FUNctional pediatric therapy we provide interventions through meaningful play so that each child is intrinsically motivated and will ultimately find success in all that they do. In other words at FUNctional Pediatric Therapy we put the FUN in functional!
Meet the Leadership Team
FUNctional Pediatric Therapy works hard to find the best practitioners and staff for supporting our mission. Our practitioners and administrative staff members are compassionate, forward thinking, community oriented, and passionate about providing the best care they can for their patients. FUNctional Pediatric Therapy is proud to introduce our incredible administrative team:
Dr. Skelton

As a proud local, she loves serving her hometown community. Outside of work, she enjoys time with family, friends, and loving on all animals. ... we’re so lucky to have her lead the team!
“Everything about FPT has been a positive experience for my family. Every person we have come into contact with has played an instrumental part in making our family a better working unit."
"From the first conversation with the receptionist, we have been kept informed of each stage. We have liked every therapist we have worked with. In the 10 or so months we have been working with therapists here, we have seen improvements in multiple areas our son had been struggling with."
