Services
Speech Therapy
Our speech-language pathologists provide individualized interventions for articulation disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, and social communication challenges. We utilize AAC devices and specialized programs to enhance verbal and nonverbal communication. Treatment focuses on improving expressive/receptive language skills while incorporating family education to reinforce progress at home and school.
Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy addresses gross motor delays, balance issues, and neuromuscular conditions through evidence-based techniques like hippotherapy and gait training. Our therapists develop customized plans to improve strength, coordination, and functional mobility for children with diagnoses including cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy services focus on sensory integration, fine motor development, and self-care skills through play-based interventions. We address visual-motor difficulties and social-emotional challenges using programs like Handwriting Without Tears while collaborating with families to create supportive home environments.
Feeding Therapy
Our multidisciplinary feeding program addresses sensory aversions and oral motor difficulties through structured group sessions. Combining speech and occupational therapy approaches, we help children expand food variety and develop positive mealtime behaviors in a supportive peer environment.
Social Skills Groups
Age-specific social groups teach unspoken communication cues and relationship-building skills through guided peer interactions. These sessions focus on turn-taking, active listening, and social problem-solving to improve participation in school and community settings.
