About Dedicated Pediatric Therapy

Dedicated Pediatric Therapy was founded in 2018 to offer occupational therapy in Broward County. Since then, we have expanded our services to include speech therapy and teletherapy for patients in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Our therapists are all licensed by their respective state regulatory boards, CPR/first aid certified, and have passed Level 2 background checks with the State of Florida. We strive to provide the highest quality care for our patients and their families.

Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy

Not sure whether to see a therapist in person or online? This comparison highlights why online therapy is often the more flexible and accessible option.

Thinking about online sessions instead? See online therapy options
Aspect In-Person Therapy Online Therapy (often more flexible)
Convenience & Time ✖️ Requires travel, scheduling time off, and a fixed location. ✔️ No travel; join from home, office, or car when it suits you.
Scheduling Flexibility ✖️ Mostly office hours; fewer last-minute or out-of-hours options. ✔️ Early morning, evening, and lunchtime sessions are easier to find.
Comfort & Privacy ✖️ Waiting rooms, chance of meeting someone you know, commuting when feeling low. ✔️ Talk from your safest private space at home or elsewhere; no waiting room.
Therapist Availability ✖️ Limited to providers within driving distance and local specialties. ✔️ Access a much wider pool of therapists, including niche expertise.
Cost & Extra Time ✖️ Parking, travel expenses, and extra commuting time around each session. ✔️ No travel or parking costs; time is spent on the session, not the journey.
Accessibility ✖️ Harder for rural areas, busy parents, chronic illness or mobility issues. ✔️ Accessible from anywhere with internet; ideal for busy or remote lifestyles.
Consistency ✖️ Travel, moving, or bad weather can interrupt or cancel sessions. ✔️ Continue therapy even while travelling or during bad weather days.
Best For ✖️ Situations where physical presence or hands-on support is essential. ✔️ Most stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Limitations ✖️ Less flexible; easier to miss sessions due to travel or schedule conflicts. ✔️ Requires internet and a private space; not suitable for emergency situations.

Bottom line: For most people, online therapy offers the best mix of convenience, comfort, and therapist choice—while still providing high-quality support.

Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.

When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.
Explore flexible online therapy options →
Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

Dedicated Pediatric Therapy understands the importance of speech therapy for children with autism. We know that it can be difficult to decide whether your child might need speech therapy, so we’ve created a guide to help explain the signs and benefits of speech therapy. Our guide covers topics such as understanding body language, starting conversations, responding to questions, and more. We believe that early intervention is key to successful language development, so if you suspect that your child may need speech therapy, it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. Our guide will help you make an informed decision about whether your child needs speech therapy and will provide you with the resources you need to get started. Visit Dedicated Pediatric Therapy to learn more about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child.
At Dedicated Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in providing speech therapy to help your child communicate. Our experienced therapists can help your child in many ways, such as improving nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and addressing issues with feeding and swallowing, such as stuttering. Our goal is to equip your child with the tools they need to effectively communicate in all environments.
Contact Phone number is (207) 592-6617.
