Therapy Bridges was founded by Jacqueline Hoxie, MA, OTR/L; Beth Pfeiffer, Ph.D., OTR/L, BCP; and Heather Stauffer, MS, OTR/L in February 2009. We provide private and school based occupational, physical, and speech therapy services for both children and adults.
Our mission is to provide quality services that are contextually focused and use best practice. We believe it is essential to implement assessment and intervention processes that support the child or individual, as well as their families in enhancing quality of life and participation in meaningful daily activities and interactions.
Services are individualized to the needs of the client and involvement of families/caregivers and school personnel is viewed as essential. We value evidence-based practice and support research and training of future therapists necessary to implement best practice.

Our goal is to provide a comfortable setting in which we can involve families and caregivers in the treatment process. We individualize each therapy session based on the client's needs.
The Temple University Gallery of Success, which honors esteemed alumni, has named College of Public Health and School of Social Work graduates Alyse D. Wilbanks and Beth A. Pfeiffer to its 2023 list of honorees.
Beth Pfeiffer has gained international prominence for her work in occupational therapy for people with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. An associate professor of health and rehabilitation sciences at the College of Public Health, Pfeiffer earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy at CPH in 1997.
In 2008, she co-founded an outpatient pediatric clinic in the Lehigh Valley area that continues to serve families. As a professor she has conducted research fueled by more than $15 million in funding, with approximately $5 million channeled directly to her Research, Engagement and Advocacy for Community and Health (REACH) lab. In 2022, she presented her research at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists in Paris and was awarded the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health Intellectual Disability Services Community Leadership Award of Excellence.
Pfeiffer’s clinical and research work focuses on helping individuals with IDD, including adolescents and young adults, engage more fully in their communities, feel productive, and become participating stakeholders in research and practice that concerns them.
“Working with kids in the school system and seeing them transition into adult roles and life has always been really rewarding,” she says. “I just love what I do. It means so much to me, the opportunity to make changes that are meaningful in people's lives.”
Currently we are running a study testing an app called the PEDI PRO, that can help youth/young adults 14-22yrs, with Intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to answer their own questions on a survey re: how hard/easy certain everyday activities are for them. Please reach out if you'd like to know more and or check out our lab website to see the other exciting work we are doing to increase the community participation of young adults with disabilities.
