"Play is the work of children." -Jean Piaget
PTs engage kids with fun, age-appropriate games and activities to keep them motivated and happy. Through play, physical therapists help promote development and help children master gross motor skills, improve balance, coordination and flexibility needed for walking, climbing, sports and recreational activities.
Each child’s program is developed specifically to meet their needs. It may include positioning during daily routines and activities, adapting toys for play, expanding mobility options, or managing equipment in the home. We support families by working collaboratively to promote coordination of service, advocacy and assist in enhancing development.

This includes daily activities like getting dressed, feeding themselves, writing their name, manipulating small objects for play, self-regulation.
Each occupational therapy session looks a little different depending on your child’s age, needs and interests. We typically prefer to use familiar toys that are already in the home such as Legos, blocks, Play-doh, puzzles, trampolines. Through this therapy process occupational therapists will help your child build a strong foundation to optimize development and help them be as successful as possible.

This can consist of helping with articulation errors or with speech fluency. Or they can help your child produce words and stringing those words into phrases and sentences. This will help your child to begin to express wants/needs and eventually progressing to expressing thoughts and ideas.
This is when the speech therapist works on your child’s ability to understand language. They usually work on this by having them follow simple one step directions and progressing to multi step directions.
Meal time can be great for family bonding, but for some families it can also be a challenging time for children and a source of stress for families. Feeding therapy is more than just teaching your child to eat. The speech therapist works closely with your ‘picky eater’ to determine the reason for the difficulty and they will develop an individualized plan to help support families during meal time.
Speech therapists work to enrich and enhance communications skills through play-based activities that are fun and target specific areas of concern. They might engage in pretend play with a doll or use books, blocks or pictures to stimulate language development. Our speech therapists work closely and collaboratively with families to provide strategies that can be easily implemented in the home setting.
