History
Established in 2012.
PediaPlex started to help families in need. We wanted to create a place where families can come and receive all of their services, in one convenient location. Our therapists work together to collaborate on each child's plan of care so that they are seeing the most progress.
Meet the Business Owner: Sonia K.
Sonia noticed her oldest daughter was behind developmentally when compared to her siblings. Sonia set out to find why her daughter was insensitive to pain, lacked motor-skill dexterity, was inattentive, and could not interact socially with other children. After thousands of miles traveled and countless appointments with pediatricians, neurological psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists, she received a diagnosis:
Autism, Asperger's Syndrome,
ADHD coupled with Dyspraxia
Sonia had spent two years orchestrating multiple evaluations, consults, and referrals across the country, expending valuable time and resources that could have been better used to treat her daughter's condition. She wondered how many others had experienced what she and her family had experienced.
From this highly personal journey, Sonia developed a vision for PediaPlex where a child could be tested, evaluated, and diagnosed by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in a single location.
