Lead The Way Therapies came to life when Kristy Baranik, SLP + Candace Peterson, OT began to discuss their passion for their respective fields and owning a business that projects that passion.

 

A few words that were mentioned in initial conversations when discussing our clinic:

• Respect: for families, children, and coworkers.

• Safe: we want you to feel like you belong here. We want you & your child to feel safe with us.

• Family-centered: your entire family is important to us when providing your child therapy services.

• Child-led: our sessions are led by the child's interests, fun, and engaging. We will honor their communication at all times. 

• Neurodiversity: we believe in and support neurodiversity-affirming care and accept all neurotypes. We are continually working to learn from neurodivergent individuals.

• Together: we know that together, Speech, OT, and PT can make a bigger impact.  We also know the value of collaborating with other professionals and with the community.

 

Knowing that a team approach is the most powerful way to support families and children, we made our dream a reality.  Respectful, thorough, high-quality care is something that is important to both Kristy and Candace--and from this came--Lead The Way Therapies.
