ABOUT REACHING RAINBOWs THERAPY
Our Philosophy
At Reaching Rainbows Therapy, we believe that all children deserve the best care, team, and resources to support their growth and progress. All children have a right to improve their movement and function to better access their daily routines and environments. Children deserve to be set up with the foundations to support life-long skill development and progress beyond their PT sessions. Parents deserve to work with providers who won't give them the same ol' run-around that leaves them with more questions than answers. Parents deserve accurate, clear, and concise information and data that helps them better understand their child's strengths, deficits, and what's next.
Reaching Rainbows Therapy is based in Washington, DC with mobile sessions provided throughout DC.
We come to you!
Meet Dr. Megan
Megan McKinney PT, DPT
Founder and Owner of Reaching Rainbows Therapy, LLC
Megan is local to the DC metro area as she was born and raised in Alexandria, VA. Megan graduated from the College of William & Mary with a B.S. in Kinesiology & Health Sciences and a minor in Psychology. It was during her time at W&M that she first shadowed a PT in a school system and knew she wanted to be a pediatric physical therapist. She then went on to pursue physical therapy and graduated with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA.
Megan has been working in the pediatric field ever since, and has experience working with children across multiple settings including in private homes, at daycares, outpatient clinics, schools, early intervention programs, hippotherapy, and aquatic physical therapy.
Megan likes to bring creativity and fun to her sessions while working with children in their natural environments to support their progress. Megan believes the best progress happens when the whole team is on board, and ensures parents and caregivers feel comfortable working together to support the child's goals. Megan’s favorite part of being a PT is helping children and their families achieve their goals and celebrating all the wins along the way, big and small!
Our Approach
The best results happen when sessions are done in the child's natural environment. Where are they having trouble? Where do you need support the most? Where do you play and interact with your child? Where do they spend their day?
Evaluations and treatment sessions conveniently take place in your home, at your child's daycare, at your child's school, or at a local playground/park that they love.
Combining fun and creativity with evidence-based strategies, exercises, and tools, we set you and your child up for success.
Sessions with a PT won't make progress alone, we believe in working with and empowering all parents, caregivers, daycare providers, and teachers with the strategies they can practice daily and carry-over to support your child's continuous progress.
