San Diego Centers for Pediatric Speech, Occupational & Physical Therapy
For 18 years now, the Kara Dodds & Associates therapy team has been providing individualized therapy for children working along-side with their families in our therapy centers located in San Diego and in Santee, California.
Our primary goal as a team is to provide positive change toward your child’s development.
We do this by only using certified and licensed therapists who design and make your child’s therapy session fun while they learn, grow, and meet their communication, sensory, and motor goals.
We love families! We teach, support, and advocate for families too. We look forward to working with your child and your family.
