About Us

Pediatric Therapy Center was started by two occupational therapists with a passion for helping children with special needs gain confidence and autonomy through physical, occupational, aquatic, and speech and language therapy. Candice Mullendore and Stephanie Adam drew on their vast experience in outpatient, inpatient, and school-based services to help children with special needs, developmental delays, and a variety of other diagnoses including Asperger’s Syndrome, autism, Down syndrome, ADD, and ADHD reach their fullest potential. Pediatric Therapy Center opened in 2008, offering one convenient location for occupational, physical and speech therapy services in Papillion, Nebraska, a suburb of Omaha.

Pediatric Therapy Center was designed to support parents, children and our community. Our mission has been, and will always be, “empowering children, families, and our community.” You are not alone in your journey of parenting a child with special needs. Our staff supports you by helping your child reach their goals and helping you and your family navigate the world of raising a child with special needs. Our team of therapists will guide you and you will see changes as your child begins to try new things, respond differently, eat new foods, or learn a new skill. Our staff considers our relationship with you and your child as the most important part of therapy. We will celebrate the big and little wins with you as you see your child gain new skills, increase his/her confidence and accomplish his/her dreams, whatever they may be!

Caregivers across western Iowa and Nebraska have raved about the positive impact PTC has had on their lives. Sarah said: “Your staff has changed our lives, I have a much better understanding of how I can HELP my child. Thank you!”
