Putting the FUN in FUNctional!

OT works with children on a variety of skills including fine motor control, visual motor skills, sensory and emotional regulation, feeding, upper extremity strength and coordination and self care tasks! Our state of the art sensory gym allows children to learn integral sensory modulation skills through safe and positive engagement in their environment. Our OTs also play critical roles in our Complex Care team, Feeding Team, and Assistive Technology supporting anything from direct manual access to complex indirect scanning and Eye Gaze.

Work Hard, Play Hard!

Physical therapy helps children develop the strength and coordination needed to sit, roll, crawl, stand, walk, climb, jump, kick and throw balls, ride bikes and so many other fun play skills! Our physical therapy team works with kiddos of all ages to develop gross motor skills. But what truly sets us apart from the rest, is our PT team's strengths in adaptive equipment (standers, gait trainers, walkers, wheelchairs, adaptive bikes), power mobility, and positioning for complex populations. Additionally, our PTs play a unique role in our Infant Feeding Program.

Let's Give Them Something to Talk About...

Speech therapists work with children to improve language skills including expressive and receptive language, fluency, cognition, literacy, articulation, total communication, and social communication. Speech therapy in our organization is also an integral part of our interdisciplinary feeding team, treating children from infancy to adolescence. But our SLP's reign supreme in their amazing work on our Assistive Technology team. From adapted toys, buttons, and apps, to the most complex learners, their innovative use of technology and speech-generating devices is second to none. See our Assistive Technology page to learn more!
