There are few greater rewards than helping a child discover, learn, and achieve new skills. We celebrate their accomplishments and help families celebrate too!

Our staff involves your child, your family, and when possible your community of caregivers to develop meaningful treatment goals that will lead to your child’s greatest future achievement. First, we listen and seek to understand the crucial concerns of your family. Our trained professionals evaluate your child and create an individualized therapy treatment plan designed to capture his or her interest and deliver the best results. The therapist then works one-to-one with your child each visit to advance his or her abilities and provide new challenges and opportunities. We educate your family and caregivers about how to include these movements within the child’s typical day to encourage development and mastering of skills. We also advocate for your child by providing you with research-based information, and teach your family strategies to support your child’s development. Our warm and nurturing environment makes therapy fun for children as they practice and learn new skills.

   
   
Physical Therapy

A physical therapist generally assists a child to improve coordination and balance, increase flexibility and endurance, and gain strength. With this foundation a child will crawl, walk, skip, and run, embracing the world.

Occupational Therapy

An occupational therapist may develop a child’s fine motor movements, increase a child’s concentration and memory skills, enhance self-care independence, or use sensory integration strategies to help a child expand his or her self-reliance and independence. They reinforce positive behaviors that turn child’s play into work and function.

Speech Therapy

A speech language pathologist can enhance a child’s ability to communicate. They also can treat swallowing disorders. With their help a child is able to express his or her needs, hopes and dreams for the future.
