Meet the Owner Steven Sanford, MOT/L—Owner & Occupational Therapist

Steven Sanford earned his undergraduate degree from Florida State University and later completed his master’s degree in occupational therapy from Nova Southeastern University. After years of pediatric therapy experience across the Miami area, he became the owner of The Children’s Center for Therapy and Learning in 2016.

His vision was to create a center where children could access innovative programs, sensory-integrated therapy, and specialized equipment within a supportive, clinically grounded environment. That vision continues today through a dedicated team focused on helping children reach their full potential.
