👟💙 We’re Here to Help! 💙👟
Did you know we have shoes available for kiddos who wear orthotics?
Finding the right shoes that fit comfortably with orthotics can be tricky, but it makes such a big difference in support, mobility, and overall progress!
If your child could benefit from a pair, please don’t hesitate to let your therapist know. We’re always happy to help and make sure your child has what they need to succeed! 💙

Strong bodies, big wins, and even bigger determination 💪✨
Our friend has been putting in the WORK with PT Morgan—focusing on core strength, stability, and confidently navigating sloped terrain… all without dropping down to his bottom 🙌
And let’s just say… he’s been crushing it! 👏
Every step, every wobble, every success is building strength and independence.
We are so proud of the hard work and perseverance happening here. Keep it up, friend—you’re doing amazing things! 💙

✨ From “throw it in the dumpster!” to “I can try again next time!” ✨
Carys has made INCREDIBLE progress this past year in OT, and we just had to celebrate her big moment 🎉
When she first started, big emotions showed up almost daily. Fast forward to now… Carys is using her tools, taking deep breaths, and working through challenges like a pro 💪
One of our favorite full-circle moments:
➡️ Then: “Throw the computer in the dumpster!”
➡️ Now: “That’s okay, I can try next time.”
Carys even shared:
💬 “OT has helped me learn to calm down by using tools in my toolbox.”
We are SO proud of you, Carys! Your hard work, growth, and determination have truly paid off. Congratulations on graduating from OT—you are a ROCKSTAR ⭐
👇 Let’s celebrate Carys!
Drop a 🎉 or ❤️ in the comments to cheer her on!

Breaking news:
This therapy session was powered by…
✨ A glowing tube of color-changing greatness. ✨
While it looks like we’re just admiring the vibes, what’s actually happening:
🌈 Visual tracking skills leveling up
🌈 Calm bodies coming online
🌈 Joint attention in full effect
🌈 Language popping off (“UP!” “DOWN!” “WOW!”)
That slow-moving glow?
It’s basically a spa day for the nervous system.
Low lights.
Big focus.
Zero chaos.
And guess what? You can recreate this magic at home without a full sensory room.
Try this:
✨ Flashlight + water bottle + a few drops of food coloring
✨ A lava lamp in a dim room
✨ Color-changing nightlight before bed
✨ Flashlight shadows on the wall for slow tracking fun
Dim the lights. Slow it down. Let them watch. Let them talk about what they see.
Sometimes therapy looks like obstacle courses and high-fives.
Sometimes it looks like quiet wonder and glowing water.
Both?
Huge developmental wins. 💙
Save this for later or tag a parent who needs a calm-body reset idea tonight. 🌈

✨ A Moment Worth Celebrating ✨ Some journeys deserve to be paused and truly celebrated… this is one of them. 💙
• Graci Easterday, BCBA •
In 2024, Graci joined APT as a part-time RBT. Just a few weeks ago, she passed her BCBA certification and is now stepping into her new role as a full-time BCBA at our Associates in Pediatric Therapy - Bowling Green location —and we couldn’t be more proud. 💙
From early experiences working with children to discovering her passion for ABA, she knew this field was her calling. Through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to growth, she has turned that passion into a career that’s already making a difference.
What stands out most about Graci is her heart for the work:
💬 “What I love most about ABA therapy is how individualized each goal is—and getting to celebrate progress alongside clients, caregivers, and teammates.”
Her journey has been shaped by hands-on learning and meaningful collaboration:
💬 “I really love how supportive the supervisors are here and how closely we can collaborate with each other.”
Her advice for families:
✨ Celebrate every win—big or small—and lean on your therapy team for support. ✨
Graci, this is such a special accomplishment, and it’s only the beginning of the impact you’ll continue to make. 💙 Drop a 👏 below to help us celebrate her!

Game on. 🏀✨
You see basketball.
We see skill-building in action.
During this session, so much more than hoops were happening:
🏀 Balance + coordination
🏀 Core strength
🏀 Motor planning
🏀 Hand-eye coordination
🏀 Following directions
Every dribble.
Every shot.
Every “I did it!”
Movement-based play keeps bodies engaged and brains learning. And when therapy feels like a game? That’s the sweet spot. 💙
Want to try it at home?
🏀 Lower the hoop (or use a laundry basket!)
🏀 Practice “ready, set, shoot!”
🏀 Add colors or numbers to call out before each shot

Associates in Pediatric Therapy (APT) is a therapeutic clinic practice providing services for children with special needs in Metro Louisville, Lexington and Southern IN. APT was founded in October, 2007, by Renea Sageser, who was then a stay-at-home mom. We officially opened our first clinic’s doors in January, 2008, in Shelbyville, KY. In 2008, we had six part-time employees and today, we are over 150 employees strong and growing. APT focuses on opening clinics in rural areas so children may receive the quality of services they need closer to their home.
APT’s strength is being 100% family focused. We focus on the whole family, from the patient to each employee. We pride ourselves on the overall culture we have established and align it with our company’s mission “Advancing Patients to their next Therapeutic level.” Some examples include: internal mentorships for new employees, flexible hours, team building, monthly fellowships, childcare on site, and family training and support groups for patients.
Our unique appeal is we offer multiple pediatric services to the patient and family in a team approach. We also strive to provide therapy in a variety of locations that are appealing to the patient and family. We love partnering with other pediatric facilities, such as All About Kids and The Kidz Club, in order to provide therapy in a fun and rewarding environment where the child can feel normal. As a result, our patients love to come to therapy.
Over the past few years, both Renea and APT have been honored for the quick growth of our company. We humbly share these honors with our patients.
