Welcome to Paterson Pediatric Therapy!
Hi! I’m Scout Johnson, Speech-Language Pathologist and owner.
After years working directly in schools as a special education teacher, compliance specialist, and SLP- I created this company to combine high-quality services for districts with a supportive, clinician-focused work environment for the professionals who serve them. My team and I are committed to building strong partnerships, uplifting providers, and ensuring every child receives the services they need. At our core, we believe that better support for educators leads to better outcomes for students.
As a female and military spouse–owned company, we understand the need for flexibility, stability, and meaningful work that supports our families and communities.
Our Mission
At Paterson Pediatric Therapy, our mission is to provide exceptional, student-centered special education services while supporting the educators who deliver them. We believe that schools thrive when providers feel valued, supported, and empowered. Our goal is to bridge the gap between districts and highly qualified professionals creating long-term solutions that help every child succeed.
Our Difference
We offer the personal touch that large staffing agencies can’t. As a clinician-owned company, we understand the realities of working in schools, and we design our support around what providers truly need: consistent communication, competitive compensation, and a culture that respects work-life balance. Districts benefit from reliable staffing, seamless onboarding, and providers who feel motivated to stay.
Our Specialties
We specialize in placing educators and related service providers who are passionate about serving diverse student populations. Whether a district needs short-term support or year-long placements, we match them with professionals trained in evidence-based practices, collaborative service delivery, and culturally responsive care.
