Pediatric therapy works by helping children develop, improve, or regain cognitive, physical and motor functions, which can boost their confidence and self-worth.
What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
A pediatric therapist helps children develop or recover basic everyday skills, such as communicating effectively and eating properly. Pediatric neurological disorders that can be treated with pediatric therapy include cerebral palsy, swallowing problems, feeding disabilities, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
What to Expect
Our pediatric therapy team works with you to create a care plan based on your child’s individual needs. Our caring staff builds a relationship with you and your child to ensure he or she feels comfortable and thrives during treatment. We use proven treatment and therapy methods to help your child achieve the best outcome. Our therapists typically deliver therapy in one-on-one settings, using play-based activities. We may also employ small-group therapy to help some children with social communication and interaction.
Our goal is to enhance your child’s participation in family, community and school activities — based on his or her age and development, as well as the long-term goals for your child.
