Nicole Da Ponte began A. Rose Pediatric Therapy Center LLC in May of 2022, seeing her first clients in October of 2022 for speech and occupational therapy services. A. Rose was first established at 851 Middle Street in Fall River Massachusetts. The demand for services quickly increased and a year later, Nicole was employing 10 therapists.

Who is A. Rose? Nicole named the clinic after her daughter, Alma Rose. Alma’s middle name, Rose, was dedicated to Nicole’s late aunt and Alma’s late great grandmother. The name of the clinic has heart and family behind it, and that is what Nicole strives for. To make every team member, client, and family member part of the “A. Rose family”.

At A. Rose, we noticed a high need for multiple services in our community. Most therapy services had a several months waiting list, developmental diagnosing appointments over a year, and ABA services with similar wait times. That is why A. Rose decided to add a developmental pediatrician to the team to help with diagnosing, and our ABA center was formulated.

At A. Rose we are striving to provide the best pediatric therapy services using evidence-based practices, but also incorporating the most important part of a child’s development, PLAY! At A. Rose our moto is “Where we play to grow” and we incorporate that into every single treatment session.
