Established in 1958

From Humble Beginnings

In 1958, a group of parents of children with cerebral palsy filed the paperwork to become what is now called Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies.

Our commitment was to provide necessary therapies for children regardless of the family’s ability to pay—a commitment we still uphold today.

From a small budget and staff, we’ve grown to become one of Kentucky’s largest nonprofits, helping children across the nation see their abilities.

Over 1,200 kids served annually

Our Impact

Through our dedicated therapists and innovative programs, we help these children discover their strengths, build confidence, and achieve their goals.

Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies empowers children with physical, behavior, and intellectual challenges to reach their full potential through comprehensive medical therapies, regardless of a family’s capacity to afford the full cost of care.  Our transformative care inspires our children and their families to live with confidence, joy, and hope for the future.
