Sensory Solutions

What Sensory Solutions does

Sensory Solutions is a privately held pediatric outpatient therapy clinic network founded in April 2000 by occupational therapist Sheree Behrndt. The company provides multidisciplinary therapeutic services — occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, and nutrition — primarily to children from birth through age 18 with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorders, and feeding difficulties. The company operates six clinic locations across the St. Louis, Missouri metro area (Creve Coeur headquarters, Florissant, St. Peters, South County/Tesson Ferry) and western Kentucky (Paducah, Murray), with a smaller adult therapy vertical and telehealth delivery channel. Affiliation with the Missouri First Steps early intervention program and referral relationships with pediatricians form the core demand generation engine, supplemented by a content-driven SEO marketing approach through the company's blog and family testimonials.

The company's underlying technology is a multidisciplinary clinical methodology stack rather than a software platform, built around specialized care protocols including Sensory Integration Therapy, the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) feeding approach, Therapeutic Listening, the iLs Integrated Listening System, ADOS-2 autism diagnostic evaluation, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device implementation, primitive reflexes integration, and tethered oral tissues assessment. The multidisciplinary Feeding Team — integrating OTs, speech-language pathologists, and a registered dietitian — is a distinctive care model that has produced documented outcomes including g-tube removal within two months for complex pediatric cases. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance reimbursement as an in-network provider with Aetna, Anthem/BCBS, Cigna, Medicaid of Missouri, Tricare, UHC, and others, supplemented by affordable private-pay rates; the company also operates minor school-contract revenue through preschool partnerships and an affiliation with Logan University's Dietetic Internship Program.

The business is founder-led with no external institutional investment, no parent company, and no M&A activity disclosed. The Kentucky operations are housed in a separate legal entity, Sensory Solutions-KY, LLC, formed in 2016 as a joint venture between Sheree Behrndt and Monica McNatt (a former employee and Speech-Language Pathologist since 2001) who manages the Kentucky clinics. Distribution is exclusively regional across two states, with no national expansion signals, no AI/ML technology investment, and no public listing or known private equity involvement identified in the available data.

Direct peers

• Hopebridge: Large multi-site pediatric therapy clinic network providing autism, ABA, OT, PT, and SLP services across the U.S. Highly comparable to Sensory Solutions in core clinical offerings but at significantly greater scale and with PE backing. The most direct public peer benchmark for a multi-site pediatric therapy clinic model.
• Cortica: Pediatric neurology and therapy organization providing integrated medical, ABA, OT, PT, SLP, and developmental services for children with autism and neurodevelopmental conditions. Comparable multidisciplinary clinical model with similar insurance-based pediatric therapy delivery.
• Caravel Autism Health: Multi-site provider of autism diagnostic and therapy services including ABA, speech therapy, and occupational therapy for children across multiple states. Comparable in operating multi-clinic pediatric therapy with autism specialization and similar insurance contracts.
• Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD): Large national provider of ABA and related behavioral health services for children with autism. Comparable in serving pediatric developmental populations with multi-site clinical operations, though more ABA-centric than Sensory Solutions' multidisciplinary OT/PT/SLP approach.
• Proud Moments ABA: Multi-site pediatric ABA therapy provider serving children with autism across multiple states. Comparable in operating multi-state pediatric therapy clinics with insurance contracts, though focused exclusively on ABA services rather than multidisciplinary therapy.

Regional players

• Therapy 2000: Texas-based pediatric home health provider offering OT, PT, SLP, and nursing services across multiple states. Comparable in operating multidisciplinary pediatric therapy services with insurance contracts, but home-based delivery model rather than clinic-based.
• Pediatric Home Service: Midwest-based pediatric home health provider offering nursing, therapy, and enteral nutrition services. Comparable in serving pediatric complex care populations across multiple Midwest states, but home-based delivery rather than clinic-based and lacks Sensory Solutions' sensory integration specialization.

Broad incumbents

• Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Pediatric Rehabilitation): Major pediatric academic medical center providing comprehensive rehabilitation, OT, PT, and SLP services. Overlapping pediatric therapy capabilities but as part of a broader hospital system serving much higher acuity patients and operating from a single hospital-based location model.
