The Kirkpatrick Family

Jared and Sonia Kirkpatrick are pictured with their children, Megan, Katherine & Abigail.

Jared is a University of Texas at Dallas graduate with a degree in Management and Sonia a graduate of Texas Tech University with an Accounting degree and an MBA in Global Business from University of Dallas. Jared is a National Sales Manager for Miro Industries and Sonia is the President & CEO of PediaPlex.

Jared and Sonia noticed their oldest daughter was behind developmentally when compared to her siblings. Sonia set out to find why her daughter was insensitive to pain, lacked motor-skill dexterity, was inattentive, and could not interact socially with other children. After thousands of miles traveled and countless appointments with pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists, she finally received a diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome.

From this highly personal journey, Sonia developed a vision for a clinic where a child could be evaluated, diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in a single location. This is how the concept was born to create PediaPlex.
