Our Services
Our pediatric services include:
When it comes to children, physical therapy (PT) is often thought of as a last resort. However, an increasing number of parents are turning to PT for help with their kids' development. And there's good reason to do so! Physical therapy can provide a host of benefits for children, from improving motor skills to reducing pain.
In addition, PT can help kids develop better balance and coordination. Since many childhood disorders are rooted in movement problems, early intervention with PT can make a big difference in a child's long-term health.
So, if your child is struggling with development, don't wait to get help.
When most people think of occupational therapy, they envision an elderly patient relearning how to complete everyday tasks. However, occupational therapy can be beneficial for people of all ages, including children. Through a variety of activities and exercises, occupational therapists can help children improve their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sense of body awareness.
In addition, occupational therapy can also teach kids essential life skills such as dressing themselves or tying their shoes. As a result, occupational therapy can be a valuable tool for helping kids reach their full potential.
Children often love to talk. They babble endlessly, asking questions, making demands, and sharing their thoughts on everything from the weather to the latest family drama. For many parents, it can be a relief when their child finally learns to communicate clearly. However, for some families, speech therapy is a necessary part of the equation.
Children with speech delays or disorders often benefit from working with a speech therapist to improve their communication skills. In therapy, children learn how to produce sounds correctly, how to put words together to form sentences, and how to express themselves more effectively.
Applied Behavior Analysis uses the science of learning to teach children and young adults the skills needed to participate and enjoy everyday activities in their communities and home. The focus of ABA is teaching individuals to be as independent as possible in areas such as communication, social skills, life skills, group learning, play and leisure skills, vocational skills and more! This service is provided through one-on-one therapy in a variety of settings and is the treatment of choice for individuals with Autism

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE FIRST FEW SESSIONS
Parents often ask what the first few therapy sessions will be like for their child. Here's what you can expect:
- We will ask questions about your child's development, medical history, and current symptoms. This information will help the therapist understand your child's needs and develop a treatment plan.
- The therapist will observe your child in action. The therapist may watch your child play, eat, or perform other activities. This will help the therapist identify areas of difficulty and potential goals for treatment.
- After observing your child, the therapist will work with you to develop specific goals for treatment. These goals may target skills such as fine motor coordination, self-care skills, or social skills.
- The therapist will then create a treatment plan to help your child reach these goals. Treatment may involve activities, exercises, games, and/or equipment. The therapist will also provide guidance on how you can support your child's progress at home.
- The first few sessions are an important time for assessing your child's needs and developing a plan to help them reach their fullest potential. By working closely with the therapist, you can ensure that your child gets the most out of therapy.
By the end of the initial evaluation process, you should have a good idea of what therapy will entail and how it can help your child reach their full potential. We are here to answer any questions you may have along the way. Find our nearest location to get the services you need.
