FAQs

When should my child get speech, occupational or physical therapy?

You know your child best. You might consider an evaluation if you notice your child could use a little extra support with:

  • Meeting developmental milestones
  • Handwriting or other school activities
  • Keeping up with peers
  • Emotional regulation
  • Sensory integration dysfunction
  • Feeding 

Your pediatrician is your best partner in this journey. Talk to them about how therapy can help your child overcome these hurdles and live their life to the fullest.

What is physical therapy?

Think of physical therapy as the foundation for your child’s next big adventure. Whether it’s rolling over for the first time or returning to the soccer field, physical therapy can help your child regain the strength and coordination to move safely and confidently through their world.

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy helps your child master the “jobs” of childhood. From fine motor skills needed to button a shirt or writing their name to the sensory tools needed to stay calm and focused in school, your child’s occupational therapist will help your child move through daily life with more ease and less frustration.

What is speech and language therapy?

Speech therapy is about more than talking — it’s about giving your child the power to connect. Your child’s speech and language pathologist or speech therapist will help your child: 

  • Pronounce new words
  • Address swallowing and feeding difficulties
  • Build social confidence
