info About Ally Pediatric Therapy

Ally Pediatric Therapy is a Phoenix, Arizona-based pediatric therapy provider founded in 2017 by Anthony Macleod and Ryan Goodrich. The company was inspired by Macleod's personal experience growing up with a twin brother diagnosed with autism, epilepsy, and developmental disorders. Ally provides applied behavior analysis (ABA), speech-language therapy, feeding therapy, and occupational therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions. The company grew rapidly across the Phoenix metro area, operating 9 clinic locations and earning recognition on the Inc. 5000 list in 2024 with 182% three-year revenue growth. SBJ Capital invested in Ally in January 2022. In January 2026, ACES (backed by General Atlantic) acquired Ally Pediatric Therapy, transitioning the company to an ABA-only model by eliminating in-house speech, OT, and feeding therapy services and replacing them with external care coordination. Ally is being integrated into the ACES network under the ACES brand. The company is a member of the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP). Employee reviews are mixed, with some praising supervision quality and client-focused culture, while others cite low pay, burnout, toxic management at some locations, and high turnover.
