About Us

About APR

APR is an Early Intervention agency approved by the New York State Department of Health to provide therapy, education, and support services to children birth to three years of age who are experiencing delays in their development.

​We provide multidisciplinary evaluations to determine a child's areas of need and eligibility for services through the Early Intervention program. For those who qualify, we provide therapeutic services to address each individual's challenges. These services include: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and feeding therapies, special education, nutrition, psychology, and social work. APR also  provides ABA services for those children diagnosed with Autism. 

At APR, we are committed to bringing the highest quality of care to the families we serve. Our directors, Ivey Sedrish, OTR and Richard Kadletz, PT, are practicing therapists with a combined 60+ years of experience working with infants and toddlers. All of our service providers are trained to work with our young client population.

About Early Intervention 

Early Intervention is a program under the direction of the New York State Department of Health which provides evaluations and therapy services to babies zero to three years of age and their families. These services are provided at no cost to the families if the child is found to be eligible for treatment according to the guidelines set by the New York State Department of Health Early Intervention Programs.

Feel free to contact our office with any question, or for help getting started with Early Intervention.
