Aspire Pediatric

Aspire Pediatric Therapy is a pediatric occupational therapy practice founded by Kaitlyn Cardona, MOT, OTR/L, in the Mooresville, North Carolina area. The practice supports newborns, infants, toddlers and young children, with care tailored to each child’s needs and family priorities. Its approach emphasizes whole-body development, family education and partnership throughout a child’s therapy journey.

Services include newborn and infant development support, post-NICU care, developmental wellness visits, and treatment for feeding and oral-motor difficulties, body tension or asymmetries, and delayed milestones. Aspire also provides recurring therapy and intensive programs for children with neurological or medically complex diagnoses. Treatment may incorporate Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI), electrical stimulation (TASES), Kinactive University methods and other techniques. Sessions are customizable, with weekly, biweekly or monthly options, as well as mini and full intensives.

Newborn sessions may be provided in the home; other appointments take place in the clinic. Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes. Aspire accepts cash, cards, FSA and HSA payments, and can provide superbills for families seeking insurance reimbursement.
