What COURAGEOUS KIDS, LLC does

Courageous Kids, LLC is a privately held pediatric therapy practice founded in 2017 and headquartered in Arlington, Tennessee, that delivers in-person clinical services to children from birth through early adulthood in the Memphis metropolitan area. The company operates two clinic locations (Arlington and Cordova) and offers six core service lines: physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, lactation services, wheelchair evaluations, and orthotic evaluations. Its clinical team includes therapists with Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) certification for Cerebral Palsy and other neuromotor disorders, and it runs assistive-technology evaluations in conjunction with an Assistive Technology Professional and an orthotist.

The business model is a fee-for-service professional services practice. Revenue is generated by billing insurance carriers for therapy services and by accepting private-pay patients. The practice is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, United Healthcare, TennCare-BlueCare, TennCare Select, Tricare, and CoverKids, while also offering private-pay options for uninsured or out-of-network families. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients contact the practice directly for rates.

Customer acquisition is driven by healthcare-provider referrals and word-of-mouth among Memphis-area families rather than by paid digital marketing. The company is founder-led by Heather Jackson, a physical therapist with a BS in special education from the University of Memphis, a DPT from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and NDT certification. Courageous Kids has no external institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding history. It has no mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed technology platform beyond a Squarespace-hosted website.
