What it reported doing in 2024

Physical therapy - licensed physical therapists who specialize in pediatrics work with families to assist their children in developing the strength, range of motion, and quality of movement needed to effectively and safely move through their environment. Physical therapy goals often focus on helping a child to meet developmental milestones like sitting, standing, crawling, and walking. They may also address a childs ability to jump, run with coordination, walk up and down stairs, and participate in physical education activities. Physical therapists also assess the need for orthotics, splints, and braces to improve positioning and mobility. They may recommend adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs or gait trainers, and can help a family and child learn how to effectively use this equipment. Speech-language therapy - speech-language pathologists are accredited by the american speech and hearing association and specialize in work with children to develop and enhance communication skills. Treatment varies depending on the child's age and the nature of the communication issues, but may include increasing expressive language skills, including gestures, sign language, augmentative communication systems, and spoken language; receptive language skills, such as following directions; speech skills, such as articulation; pragmatic language skills, including social skills; and oral motor skills related to both speaking and eating. In addition, speech language therapy may focus on play, attention, and problem-solving skills to lay a strong foundation for communication development. Occupational therapy - licensed occupational therapists who specialize in pediatrics work with families to help their children gain independence and promote development of functional skills that children need for their many "jobs." these skills include play, self-care (dressing, feeding, grooming), motor skills, and interacting with others. Therapists work with families to develop individualized goals that help children to be more functional in their home, school, play, and community environments. Early intervention - early intervention services are provided to families with children ages birth to three who have a 25% delay in one or more developmental areas or a diagnosed disability. Oral motor and feeding therapy - specially trained occupational and physical therapists and speech-language pathologists work with children and their families to facilitate and enhance their childs ability to eat safely and effectively. Social skills groups - specially trained speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists provide group sessions that focus on teaching children with special needs a variety of social skills to help improve their ability to make and keep friends, develop more self-confidence, and behave more appropriately. Aquatic therapy - aquatic therapy is treatment provided by specially trained therapists who use the water and specifically designed activities to achieve functional outcomes. Parent education and support - we were founded on the belief that, in order to ensure the success of each individual child, the entire family must be supported. We empower parents with the tools to recognize and utilize opportunities to enhance their childs development as they occur in everyday life.
