Welcome to our pediatric outpatient clinic, where we have proudly served the Lexington, NC community for 25 years. Our mission is to empower children and families through high-quality occupational and speech therapy services, fostering growth, independence, and confidence in each child we work with.
At our clinic, we understand that every child is unique and deserves personalized care. Our team of dedicated professionals collaborates closely with families to create tailored therapy plans that address each child's specific needs. We believe in nurturing not only the skills required for everyday activities but also the social, emotional, and communication abilities that are essential for success in life.
Carol Powell OTR/L
The one who started it all
Carol Powell is the heart and soul of our clinic, bringing over 20 years of pediatric occupational therapy experience to the team. With a background that spans home treatment, clinic settings, and school systems, Carol has dedicated her career to helping children thrive. Her passion for pediatric therapy is deeply personal; her son, Jeremy, was born with CHARGE syndrome and severe physical limitations. The support of occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapies has played a pivotal role in his journey toward independence.
Carol’s personal experiences have shaped her into an empathetic and understanding provider. She recognizes the challenges faced by parents and children, which fuels her commitment to creating a supportive and nurturing environment. Her vision was to build a clinic that serves as a haven for uniquely-abled children, where they can feel valued and empowered.
