About Saddleback Pediatric Therapy Services
Our Mission
Saddleback Pediatric Therapy services was founded with the mission to provide the highest quality therapeutic care to the children and families that are served. We sincerely believe that each child is a unique gift and deserves the right to be treated with compassion and respect. We are dedicated to the provision of family centered care and believe that each family member plays a critical role in the habilitation of the child.
Our therapy approach is based on the belief that each child should be nurtured in a loving and safe environment with state of the art equipment, which will foster the child’s intrinsic motivation and highest adaptive responses. This will ultimately result in their optimal therapeutic outcome.
