Are you ready for a career, not just another job?

As a Pediatric Physical Therapist, are you passionate about working with children, helping them achieve developmental milestones, and building strong relationships with their families? If you’re looking for more than just a job—a true career where you can grow, thrive, and transform young lives—then this opportunity might be the perfect fit for you.

Hi, I’m Hayley Apiscopa, co-owner of Developmental Steps, LLC, and I’d love to share my story with you.

Like many of you, I began my career in traditional physical therapy settings, treating a variety of patients across different age groups. However, I knew there was something special about pediatric care. I realized that the joy of helping children overcome their developmental challenges was where my true passion lay. 

When I first started out I remember coming home late at night, frustrated and burned out, wondering if this was really what I signed up for. Sure, I learned a lot from those jobs, but deep down, I knew I wanted to be different… and I think you do, too.

That’s when I went all in with Developmental Steps, LLC—being a part of building a place where physical therapy isn’t just a job; it’s a calling to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children. A space where children receive 1-on-1, focused care—no double bookings, no distractions. 

Over the years, we’ve grown, helping children not only reach developmental milestones but also thrive in ways their families never thought possible. What I’m most proud of is the nurturing, energetic culture we’ve built, where both patients and therapists flourish.

At Developmental Steps, LLC, the metrics we care about aren’t volume or revenue; they’re patient satisfaction and team retention. We want to maintain a culture that promotes staff retention, professional growth, and personal development.

Don’t just take our word for it. Our commitment to patient care is reflected in glowing testimonials from parents and our 5-star reviews across multiple platforms. Here’s what some of our patients’ families are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “My son’s progress has been amazing, thanks to Developmental Steps. The therapists truly care and have a unique approach that’s made all the difference.” 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – “We feel so lucky to have found Hayley and her team. Our daughter loves coming here, and her progress has exceeded all our expectations.”

The field of Pediatric Physical Therapy is thriving, not just surviving. There has never been a better time to specialize in pediatrics, with countless children needing expert care. We’re not just treating patients; we’re transforming lives.

Here’s the exciting part

We’re growing our team, and we want to give everyone an opportunity to be a part of our incredible clinic. Whether you’re a new graduate or an experienced Physical Therapist without pediatric experience, we’d love to have you!
