Occupational Therapy

Our pediatric occupational therapists help children build independence in daily activities at home, school, and in the community. Therapy focuses on:

  • Sensory Processing: Strategies and activities in our sensory gym to help children regulate behaviors and improve coordination.
  • Fine Motor Skills: Developing strength and coordination for tasks like writing, cutting, tying shoes, and using fasteners.
  • Daily Activities: Supporting self-care skills such as brushing teeth, dressing, and sleeping.

Therapies are conducted in our pediatric gym or private spaces, with caregivers encouraged to participate.

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapists specialize in helping children meet motor milestones, improve strength, coordination, and mobility. Services include:

  • Play-Based Therapy: Using our pediatric gym for fun, goal-oriented therapy.
  • Aquatic Therapy: A heated pool with an underwater treadmill and therapy jets for strength and mobility training.
  • Walking Support: Customized plans using techniques like Lite Gait suspension and treadmill systems, post-Botox therapy, and orthopedic rehabilitation.
  • Scoliosis Treatment: Schroth-certified therapists provide specialized exercises for scoliosis management.
  • Durable Medical Equipment: Collaborating with providers to secure mobility aids and custom orthotics through our onsite brace clinic.

Speech Therapy

Our speech-language pathologists provide personalized evaluation and therapy for:

  • Communication Skills: Improving expressive/receptive language, speech clarity, voice, fluency, and use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
  • Feeding and Swallowing: Addressing oral motor delays, sensory responses to food, and feeding skills from infancy to adolescence.
