Speech Therapy

Our pediatric speech therapists use a child’s work or “play” to obtain desired communication. They diagnose and treat children with a broad spectrum of disorders. Speech therapists also train patients, families, and caregivers, and educate other health care professionals. Our speech therapists maximize opportunities to obtain natural speech and language from our developmentally appropriate equipment. They apply techniques that are highly integrated with physical and occupational therapists. A child’s speech or communication is the foundation for all peer and adult interaction. Speech is not only what a child says, but how they play and gesture, what language they understand and what information they can convey.

Occupational Therapy

Focuses on the underlying components of development. The pediatric occupational therapist works to promote independence for a child’s “occupation,” which includes play, self-help tasks, and school related skills. Occupational Therapy typically address deficiencies in a person's fine motor skill development, dressing, hygiene, handwriting, behavior, and sensory integration.

Physical Therapy

Movement is the foundation for higher learning. Pediatric physical therapists work to enhance overall strength and mobility. The efficiency of a child's strength and mobility allows a child to maximize their independence. Gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, jumping, climbing, skipping, bike riding and ball skills are the foundation of gross motor development.
