A short interview excerpt in which Will Humphreys asks an interviewee about their motivation for working in pediatric therapy. The interviewee explains a lifelong exposure to pediatric therapy through their mother (also a pediatric physical therapist) and emphasizes the central role of family and team-based care in supporting children’s development.

Why are you so driven in that space? Like, what drives you to be in that world?
I've been around pediatric therapy my whole life because my mom is also a pediatric physical therapist. And so I've watched it and really seen the value that it brings to families and just how you like get to enter into a space with a family that kind of feels in crisis at that moment often and go through just finding the potential in their child and helping them see goals and see progress to just see their child grow and become who they want their child to become as well as who their child wants to become. Right.
I love the word family in that family. Word is so powerful because you guys do, especially with pediatrics, you're involved in a whole team approach. Physical therapy, occupational therapy doesn't have that same connection that you guys do on the pediatric space. So it's powerful that you guys are in that role.
