OUR STORY

Who we are.

Aligned Developmental Services is a pediatric therapy practice in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, partnering with families and schools to support children through every stage of growth. Through occupational, speech, and physical therapy, parent coaching, and school-based contracted services, we provide individualized support that helps children thrive at home, in school, and in everyday life.

​

We believe in a whole-child, neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes each child's unique strengths, honors their individual path, and empowers the adults who support them. Our goal is to create aligned, meaningful support that helps children grow with confidence, connection, and success.

OUR MISSION

What drives us.

We partner with families and schools through a whole-child approach, providing school-based developmental services, parent coaching, and individualized support that helps children grow, thrive, and succeed through every phase of life.

OUR VALUES

What we stand for.

01

Belonging

Every child, family, and educator deserves to feel seen, valued, and welcomed. As a neurodiversity-affirming practice, we honor differences and recognize diverse ways of thinking, learning, and developing as strengths to be supported.

02

Hope

We lead with belief in each child's potential. Progress looks different for every child and is not always linear, so we choose optimism, encouragement, and possibility at every step.

03

Curiosity

Curiosity keeps us learning, growing, and adapting. We approach each child with fresh eyes and thoughtful questions, collaborating with families and schools to find the support that will be most meaningful.

04

Service

Serving children means serving the people who support them. Our work is rooted in compassion, partnership, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference for families, educators, and communities.

05

Celebration

Growth is made of countless meaningful moments. From major milestones to quiet breakthroughs, we believe every step forward, and the effort behind it, deserves recognition.
