About PA

Our Mission

Each year, over 400,000 babies born in the United States are at risk of having a motor delay. Early motor delays are delays in children’s ability to meet critical physical milestones in the first months and years of life—how well and soon they move and interact with their environment. A wide range of neuromuscular conditions—from nonspecific low muscle tone to cerebral palsy—may cause delays in these functions. Regardless of the underlying condition, experts agree physical therapy significantly improves outcomes in children with early motor delays.

Pathways Awareness is uniquely dedicated to increasing knowledge about the gift of early detection and the benefit of early therapy for infants and children with early motor delays. We honor and support their parents by providing knowledge, information, and a sense of community as they guide their children on life’s journey.
