A child’s day is made up of activities and routines, or “occupations.” These occupations may be playing with toys, coloring, eating with a spoon or putting on a T-shirt. All of these activities are essential for a child’s development. Occupational therapy helps children develop these skills.
Physical therapy assists in helping a child perform all physical functions required for their day such as rolling, crawling, sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping, playing, and climbing. During the early years of development, it is essential to challenge and help build a strong physical foundation in order to encourage a child’s growth towards independence, peer play, and overall health and fitness.

In order for a child to make progress, family participation and parent training is a vital component. Your Clinical team will recommend a level of participation they determine is necessary. We encourage parents to sit in on sessions as often as they can. You are not required to participate in all ABA sessions, however, a caregiver over the age of 18 must be onsite at the home at all times. For clinic-based appointments, the child may be dropped off.
