Why Therapists Choose AMP
AMP was built differently. We designed a workplace that supports the therapist you are — and the life you want to build.
Build a week that works for your life — not the other way around. Purposeful caseloads, reasonable hours, and a schedule you help shape.
Work close to home in Central Florida communities. Less time driving, more time doing the work that matters.
Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced clinician, you'll have access to clinical guidance and a team that invests in your growth.
Systems, training, and guidance that make documentation manageable — so you can focus on your clients, not paperwork.
Clear pathways for both OTs and COTAs — from staff clinician to senior, mentor, and leadership roles.
A workplace designed around the therapist you are and the life you want. AMP was built to support both.

When therapists are supported, children thrive.
Life at AMP
At AMP, therapy happens in homes, schools, daycares, and community settings throughout Central Florida. No two days are exactly alike — and that's part of what makes the work energizing.
Sessions happen where the child lives, learns, and plays — not in a clinic office. You're in the child's real environment, working on skills that matter in daily life.
We build caseloads around your Central Florida community, so your drive time stays reasonable and your days stay focused.
You're not rotating through strangers. You work with children and families over time — watching progress unfold, celebrating milestones, and becoming someone the family trusts.
Systems and guidance are in place to help you complete notes accurately and efficiently — without spending your evenings buried in paperwork.
Regional teams, clinical leadership, and operations support are all a message or call away. Working in the field doesn't mean working alone.
Mentorship, training, shadowing opportunities, and continuing education support are part of the structure — not perks you have to ask for.
In community-based care, you become a familiar, trusted presence. That connection is often the most rewarding part of the work.
Schedules are built with your life in mind. AMP was designed to respect the whole person, not just fill a schedule.
Spend them having fun with friends (many AMP therapists become real friends outside of work), or pick up weekend sessions if you want the extra work. It's up to you.
The combination that makes therapists stay: real control over your schedule, a manageable local caseload, and work that visibly changes families' lives.

Support You Actually Feel
AMP built systems so you can focus on therapy: clinical leadership for guidance, scheduling support to protect your time, and operational systems that help documentation and coordination happen smoothly.
Accessible leadership and experienced clinicians who answer questions, review tough cases, and help you grow your clinical judgment.
Leaders who know your name, understand your caseload, and are reachable when you need them — not hidden behind layers.
A team that builds your schedule with intention — clustered visits, reasonable travel, and protected time for notes and family communication.
Clear expectations, practical templates, and feedback that makes documentation faster and more accurate over time.
Tools that work, training to use them well, and help when something breaks. Technology should reduce friction, not create it.
A structured start: shadowing, gradual caseload building, and a mentor who checks in while you find your rhythm.
Discipline teammates and cross-discipline colleagues who share ideas, cover each other, and celebrate wins together.
Authorizations, insurance questions, and family coordination are handled by dedicated staff — so you can stay focused on therapy.
You show up for children and families. We show up for you. Behind every AMP therapist is a team managing authorizations, coordinating schedules, supporting documentation, and solving problems — so your energy goes to the work that matters most.
That's the AMP difference. You help children. We help you help them.

Meet the Founders
Alexander & Alexandra Perez, Founders
AMP Pediatric Therapy was founded by Alexander and Alexandra Perez — two people who saw a gap between the care children needed and the systems that were supposed to provide it. Families were waiting. Children were missing critical developmental windows. And the therapists who wanted to help were often working inside structures that made it harder, not easier, to do their best work.
They built AMP to change that. Not with a corporate playbook, but with a genuine commitment to the families they serve and the therapists who make that service possible. From the beginning, the goal was simple: create an organization where therapists are so well-supported that nothing stands between them and the children who need them.
That meant building real systems. Hiring people dedicated to removing administrative barriers. Creating a culture where therapists feel valued, heard, and equipped to grow. And staying close enough to the work that leadership never loses sight of what actually matters.
Years later, that commitment hasn't changed. AMP has grown — in team size, in geographic reach, in the number of families served — but the belief at the center of everything remains the same. When therapists are supported, children thrive.
Founder Alexander Perez has participated in national conversations on entrepreneurship, healthcare access, community development, and small business growth — including White House and Vice Presidential initiatives focused on improving systems for families and communities.
AMP Pediatric Therapy was recognized as a Florida Companies to Watch winner — an honor that reflects the organization's growth, community impact, and commitment to building something that lasts.
Every system, every process, and every decision at AMP connects back to one belief: when therapists are supported, children thrive. That belief isn't a tagline — it's the reason AMP was built.

Ashli ConradPhysical Therapist Assistant, AMP“I chose speech because I see the potential … there's nowhere to go but up.”
Khadeisha SamuelsLead SLP, AMP“Home health isn't easy. It's hard, but … it's rewarding because you get to start from the beginning.”
Andrea GallardoExecutive Director of Patient Care, AMPThe Work You Do Matters
When you help a child learn to dress independently, hold a crayon for the first time, or regulate their emotions in a classroom setting — that's not just therapy. That's a family breathing easier. That's a child stepping into the world with more confidence than they had yesterday.
A child feeds herself for the first time.
A parent cries because their child wrote their name.
A teacher reports a breakthrough in the classroom.
A family says you've changed their daily life.
A child walks into school ready — because of the work you did.
Clinical Practice Areas
AMP occupational therapists support children across a wide range of diagnoses and developmental needs, including:
Real Family Experiences
The growth that she has shown is indescribable. Lizari is not only a therapist, she’s like family — my daughter calls her “Color” because she has the best coloring books.
The administrative team at AMP is equally impressive, making a potentially overwhelming process feel seamless. Their communication is consistently clear and proactive.
She is always cheering him on and dialoging with him every step of the way. We are so grateful for the support and care she provides.
After 1 year going to a clinic I decided to change to a home therapy setting … AMP is far beyond just therapy — they become family.
Michelle is patient, knowledgeable and very gentle with our daughter … She’s an irreplaceable part of our care team.
Almost 5 years now for 5 of my 6 children — occupational, physical and speech therapy. Their progress has been phenomenal.
Honest Expectations
No surprises. Here's what community-based pediatric therapy at AMP is really like:
Therapy happens in children's homes, schools, daycares, and community settings across Central Florida — not in an office or clinic. AMP's office is administrative only.
Caseloads are built locally whenever possible, but community-based care means travel is part of the role. A reliable vehicle and valid Florida driver's license are required.
Timely, accurate notes are essential — for families, for authorizations, and for continuity of care. We train and support you, but documentation is a real part of the job.
Flexibility is real — and it comes with self-management. Therapists who plan their weeks well thrive here.
You'll coach caregivers, answer questions, and build trust in people's homes. Communication and professionalism matter as much as clinical skill.
You'll work independently in the field, with clinical and operational support a call or message away. Self-directed clinicians do best in this model.
Compensation is competitive and discussed openly during your first conversation with our team. We don't believe in making you guess.
