Founded with a Passion for Empowering Children

Progressive Pediatric Therapy was founded by Aimee Brueck, a Physical Therapist with a passion for helping children with special needs reach their full potential. After relocating to Palm Beach in 2009, Aimee recognized a lack of multi-disciplinary practices and opened Progressive Pediatric Therapy, starting with in-home services and expanding to three clinics. Aimee continues to develop unique therapeutic programs, including aquatic therapy, handwriting camps, and more, with the goal of empowering children, families, and the community through quality care.

Family-Centered Care at Its Core

We believe that parents and families play a central role in their child’s development. That’s why we work closely with you to create personalized treatment plans that address your child’s specific needs. Our therapists partner with families to ensure therapy aligns with daily routines and family goals.

Here’s how we support you:

  • Communicating and coordinating with other providers.

    We work closely with your child’s entire care team, including doctors, teachers, and other specialists, to ensure seamless communication and consistent support across all aspects of their development.

  • Teaching strategies for managing physical limitations and behavior relative to daily routines and activities.

    Our therapists provide practical strategies that help children manage physical challenges and behavioral issues in everyday settings, from home routines to school activities, ensuring their success in daily life.

  • Providing information about medical conditions and healthcare needs.

    We offer guidance on understanding your child’s medical condition, explaining healthcare needs in a way that empowers families to make informed decisions about their child’s treatment and well-being.

  • Utilizing mobility devices and equipment options.

    Our team helps families choose and use the right mobility aids, adaptive equipment, and assistive devices to improve your child’s independence and quality of life at home, school, and in the community.

  • Teaching safety for the home and community.

    We focus on teaching safety skills to ensure that children are safe at home, school, and in public, covering everything from home safety precautions to navigating the community confidently.

Will an AAC Device Stop My Child From Talking? What New Research Says

By Aimee Brueck • July 21, 2026
The answer may surprise you. One of the biggest concerns parents have about Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is: "If my child starts using an AAC device, will they stop trying to talk?" It's an understandable fear. Every parent wants to hear their child's voice. Many worry that introducing a communication device means they're giving up on speech. The good news is that decades of research continue to show the opposite. AAC does not prevent children from learning to talk. In fact, many children who use AAC develop spoken language just as quickly, or even more quickly, because they are finally able to communicate successfully while speech continues to develop. Now, exciting new research published in 2026 adds another reason for families to feel hopeful. It found that preschoolers using AAC can learn much more than requesting their favorite toy or snack. With the right therapy, they can begin building sentences and expressing more complex thoughts.

Mealtime Made Simple: Building Confident Eaters and Calmer Family Tables

By Aimee Brueck • July 10, 2026
For many families, mealtime can feel more stressful than enjoyable. Parents often worry when their child suddenly refuses foods they used to love or insists on eating only a small handful of familiar items. At Progressive Pediatric Therapy, we understand how confusing and frustrating picky eating can feel. Our Feeding & Mealtime Wellness Visit helps families turn mealtime struggles into calm, confident routines where children can explore food without pressure and parents can feel supported.
