Pediatric Therapy

Pediatric Speech and Language Therapy 

Speech and Language Therapy Helps Kids With:  

​

  • Speech: Treatment of articulation, phonological, and apraxia disorders.  

  • Communication: Treatment of expressive and receptive disorders common in children with autism, cognitive delay, down syndrome, etc.   

  • Feeding (how well we suck, chew, and swallow): Treatment of picky eaters and feeding aversions. A swallowing disorder may lead to poor nutrition, weight loss, and other health problems, if not treated early and appropriately.   

  • Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC): Working with non-verbal or highly unintelligible individuals who use low or high tech devices.   

  • Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) can help with tongue thrusting, eating, breathing, and speech. 
     

For young children, therapy sessions are conducted through play, music, and other engaging activities. Older children who are able to sustain attention for an extended period of time will be presented with strategies they can use outside of therapy in order to succeed in school and in the community.

Physical therapists are concerned with a child’s ability to participate in movement activities such as crawling, walking, running, playing games and participating in sports. PTs help improve gross motor skills through play by using various modalities and techniques to improve children’s range of motion, strength, flexibility, coordination, and movement patterns.
