Pediatric Therapy

 Speech Therapy 

Speech Therapy is a great way to learn to communicate more clearly, whether it’s through targeting articulation or language skills. Some medical conditions make speaking more difficult, including:

• hearing impairment
• weak muscles around the mouth
• cleft lip or palate
• vocal nodules/ hoarseness
• autism
• breathing disorder
• swallowing disorder

Speech therapy can improve not only a child’s articulation and sound production, but also their social communication skills, breath control, and swallowing skills.

Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping children with physical, sensory, or cognitive differences be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives. OT can also enhance self-esteem and personal sense of accomplishment.

Some people may think that occupational therapy is only for adults; kids, after all, do not have occupations. But a child’s main job is playing and learning. Occupational therapists can evaluate kids’ skills for playing, school performance, and daily activities and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group. Conditions treated by an occupational therapist include:

• Sensory Processing Disorder
• Traumatic Injuries
• Autism Developmental Disorders
• Developmental Delays
