About Us
Empowering Children. Supporting Families. Building Futures.
Our Story
Little Tesla was founded with a clear vision:
to create a place where therapy feels personal, positive, and purposeful - where families don’t have to wait for help, and where children are seen for who they are, not just their diagnosis.
What began as a small team of passionate therapists has grown into a thriving multidisciplinary clinic, serving families across Greater Orlando with ABA, Speech, Occupational, Physical, Feeding, INPP, Group, DIR/Floortime, and Virtual Therapy - all under one roof.
Our name, Little Tesla, is inspired by the spirit of innovation and discovery. Just as Nikola Tesla saw potential in every spark, we see potential in every child - ready to shine with the right support.
At Little Tesla Pediatric Therapy, our mission is simple - to help every child reach their full potential through compassionate, evidence-based care.
We believe that meaningful change happens when science, empathy, and teamwork come together - and when families are at the heart of the process.
From your child’s first step into our clinic to the moment they achieve new milestones, our team is here to guide, support, and celebrate with you every step of the way.
“We take pride in being recognized as the top-rated Pediatric Clinic in Orlando by the Three Best-Rated.”
Our Mission
To deliver high-quality, ethical, and family-centered pediatric therapy that empowers children to grow, connect, and thrive - without delay.
We combine evidence-based practice with human compassion, ensuring every child’s journey is guided by care, respect, and measurable progress.
Our Vision
To redefine pediatric therapy by building a model of care that’s accessible, integrated, and future-focused - where collaboration inspires success and every child, parent, and therapist feels part of something greater.
