About us

Welcome to Always Keep Progressing

We are a comprehensive pediatric therapy practice based in Miami, Florida, offering personalized, tech-enabled care for children with autism and other developmental needs.

Our interdisciplinary team provides in-clinic and teletherapy services in speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, and creative modalities such as music and art therapy.

At Always Keep Progressing, we take a whole-child, family-centered approach—combining clinical expertise with innovative tools to deliver individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. We use modern technology to support progress tracking, caregiver communication, and collaboration across services—ensuring care doesn’t stop at the clinic door.

Our mission is to improve each child’s communication, sensory, and functional skills in ways that enhance their social, emotional, and academic development—while empowering families to support and sustain growth at home, in school, and beyond.
