About Us
Parenting is an incredible journey filled with surprises and challenges. While obstacles in your child’s development may arise, they offer opportunities for growth, learning, and advocacy. You possess the strength to overcome many of these challenges independently. However, it’s empowering to know that support is readily available when needed!
For over 20 years, Emerge Pediatric Therapy (formerly Emerge-A Child’s Place) has served the parents and children of the Triangle who have needed that extra support. So whether you need occupational, physical, or speech therapy, look no further than Emerge Pediatric Therapy.
