Pediatric therapy with a real finish line.
Growing Gains Therapy is a Brooklyn-based pediatric practice offering occupational, physical, and speech therapy in focused, time-limited programs. Every family gets a clinical lead who knows your child, a defined plan with measurable goals, and a real endpoint — not indefinite weekly appointments.
We specialize in the children other practices often struggle with — the neurodivergent child with complex needs and the high-achiever who just needs a steady, expert hand.
Our Approach
A proven, program-
based approach
We replace open-ended, weekly therapy with focused programs grounded in motor learning research. Every family gets a defined plan, specific goals, and a measurable outcome.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We start every family with a thorough evaluation across the disciplines your child needs. You leave with a clear picture of where your child stands, what we recommend, and what the path forward looks like.
Time-Limited Programs
Children acquire skills faster through concentrated, purposeful practice. Whether you're working toward fewer meltdowns, confidence on the playground, easier communication, independence with getting dressed, stamina for family outings, or kindergarten readiness, we enroll your child in a flat-rate program with a defined goal and timeline.
Multidisciplinary Integration
Occupational, physical, and speech therapy each address a different piece of your child's development — and the best outcomes happen when they're working in concert. We bring all three under one roof, on one team, with one coordinated plan.
Reassessment & Next Steps
Every program ends with a formal progress review. From there, we recommend clear next steps — whether that's graduation, lighter-touch monitoring, or a new targeted program — so you always know where your child stands and what comes next.
Services
Most families piecing together pediatric therapy are also piecing together the coordination — chasing reports, relaying notes, translating between specialists. We do that work for you. Your child's care is held by one team, with one plan, and you can go back to being the parent.

PT, DPT — Founder, Growing Gains Therapy
Christine Beavers is a licensed pediatric physical therapist and the founder of Growing Gains Therapy. A Doctor of Physical Therapy with training from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, she has worked in NYC pediatric settings since 2018 — across private special education schools, early intervention, and home care, and most recently several years at the Cooke School and Institute, primarily supporting neurodivergent students with language-based learning disabilities and developmental disabilities.
Her clinical approach is neuroaffirming, play-based, and rooted in real-world function. She's as likely to work on subway stairs and playground equipment as she is on a clinic mat — because the skills children need to build are the ones that show up in their actual lives in New York City.
