About
Pediatric Therapy of Riverside was founded in 2018 by Bridget Beck, MS CCC-SLP to foster the development of communication skills in children through comprehensive evaluation, individualized treatment, parent education, and coordination with teachers and health care professionals. We believe that consideration of the whole child - their strengths, needs, interests, and activities – allows us to provide the most meaningful treatment possible.
