Who we are
The HarperGray Pediatric Therapy Center is more than a place of care; it's a mission born from a deeply personal experience. Our founder, Richard Walberger, a real estate developer from New York, was personally impacted when his daughter was born with a speech delay. He navigated the complex world of early intervention and discovered a profound gap in the system a lack of cohesive, comprehensive support that left many families feeling isolated and uncertain about their children's future. He recognized that the crucial care and treatment needed during the most formative years of a child's life was often fragmented and difficult to access. This firsthand understanding, combined with his experience in building and developing, inspired him to create the very support system he wished he had for his own family.
We were founded on the belief that no family should ever feel helpless on this journey. We're dedicated to providing a family centered approach, offering expert, evidence-based therapy in a supportive and collaborative environment. Every aspect of our center is designed to bridge the gaps our founder experienced, ensuring your child is not just a patient but a valued individual with limitless potential. At HarperGray, we are committed to being the trusted partner every family deserves, empowering children to thrive and giving parents the hope and support they need to navigate their child's development with confidence.
Where Therapy Begins
At the HarperGray Pediatric Therapy Center, we believe that effective therapy begins with a complete understanding of your child. We've designed a comprehensive process that ensures your family receives coordinated and personalized care, addressing the critical gaps in the system that our founder experienced firsthand.
Your journey with us begins with a full, multi-disciplinary assessment. Our team of specialists, including Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physical Therapists (PTs), and psychologists, work together to get a complete picture of your child's needs. This collaborative approach ensures we don't miss any critical details.
Once all assessments are complete, our team meets to create a customized and integrated treatment plan tailored specifically to your child. We combine the insights from each discipline to create a single, cohesive plan that targets all areas of development. We also understand that your child's needs may be more specific. We proudly offer individual services, so even if your child only requires physical therapy or occupational therapy, they can still receive that expert care here.
Our process is enhanced by our 8,000+ square foot facility. Our dedicated sensory gym and unique sensory garden are scheduled to open in Spring 2026. These specialized environments will allow our therapists to use innovative, play-based strategies to make learning and growth a positive and engaging experience for your child.
Our process is built on the belief that a well-coordinated plan and a supportive environment lead to the best outcomes. We're committed to being the partner you and your child need, providing a clear path forward and the expert support to walk it with you.
