Springboard

What Springboard does

Springboard Pediatric Therapy is a privately held outpatient pediatric therapy clinic founded in 2005 by occupational therapist Trish O'Brien and headquartered in Whippany, New Jersey. The practice delivers occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology services to children from birth through 21 years of age across Northern and Central New Jersey, with additional capacity to treat young adults with developmental deficits. Services are built on a transdisciplinary model in which OT, PT, and speech clinicians collaboratively develop individualized treatment plans, supplemented by specialized programs such as Sensory Integration Therapy, DIR/Floortime, Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI), Cuevas MEDEK Exercises, SOS Feeding Protocol, Interactive Metronome, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and short-duration Intensive Therapy blocks.

The clinic operates from a single facility at 100 S Jefferson Rd, Whippany, equipped with multiple sensory gyms, climbing and suspension equipment, Lycra-layer rooms, and quiet areas for sensory bins and crafts. Differentiated offerings include a 45-minute session format with structured parent conferences, reports finalized within 10 business days of evaluation, and a play-based child-led therapy approach. Supporting ecosystem assets include the Noon Nuggets weekly parent webinar series, curated Spotify playlists, and a 'Springboard's Favorite Things' product curation page.

Revenue is generated through insurance-billed therapy sessions across the core OT/PT/Speech disciplines, with consultation meetings billed as out-of-pocket. Customer acquisition relies on referrals from pediatricians, school partners, community mental health providers, and word-of-mouth, supported by free 10-15 minute consultations and an active website plus organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Yelp. The company is founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity.

Broad incumbents

• ATI Physical Therapy: National physical therapy chain with growing pediatric therapy programs. Overlapping PT/OT service lines and same insurance-driven revenue model, though ATI's scale and adult-orthopedic focus make pediatric care a smaller share of its mix.
• FOX Rehabilitation: Large New Jersey-based outpatient therapy provider primarily focused on geriatric care but expanding into pediatric and developmental therapy. Comparable outpatient therapy delivery model and NJ operating territory, though with a different primary patient demographic.
• Children's Specialized Hospital: Largest pediatric rehabilitation system in New Jersey offering outpatient PT, OT, and SLP across multiple locations. Same therapy disciplines, target age range, and NJ geography, but operates at a much larger hospital-affiliated scale and serves higher-acuity cases.

Others

• ProCare Therapy: National therapy staffing and workforce solutions company placing pediatric OTs, PTs, and SLPs in schools and clinics. Not a clinical competitor, but directly relevant as a talent pipeline and labor-cost benchmark for Springboard's specialty-certified hiring.

Direct peers

• Real Life Pediatric Therapy: Independent pediatric therapy clinic offering OT, PT, and speech therapy for children. Closely comparable single-site private practice model, multidisciplinary pediatric focus, and parent-driven referral dynamic in a similar suburban U.S. market.
• Ivy Rehab for Kids: National pediatric therapy network offering OT, PT, and speech therapy for children across multiple states. Directly comparable multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy model; much larger scale with PE backing and active NJ presence competing for the same referrals.
• Therapy and Learning Center for Kids: Multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy practice offering speech, occupational, and physical therapy with similar specialty credentials and parent-coaching emphasis. Comparable service mix and target demographic to Springboard.

Regional players

• North Jersey Pediatric Therapy: Regional pediatric therapy provider operating in Northern New Jersey with overlapping OT, PT, and SLP services. Direct geographic overlap with Springboard's Whippany-area catchment and similar suburban NJ referral base.
