Aquatic Therapy is designed to benefit children by working on therapeutic skills in a gravity assisted environment. The pool setting offers a variety of water-based activities that enhance or restore mobility and function in a warm water environment.
Our therapists will find fun and creative ways to improve your child’s gross motor skills and improve their ability to perform functional daily activities.
Daily life “occupations”, AKA activities, for children include everything from playing, dressing, feeding, and bathing to handwriting and social interactions. Occupational therapists help to improve a child’s performance and participation in all of those activities.
Teletherapy is therapy via a live video connection. The treatment session is similar to an in-person session, however it is over a computer (or other device) instead!
Communication skills are an essential aspect of a child’s overall development, health, learning experiences, self-esteem, and ability to express their basic wants and needs. These skills are also incredibly important to school performance and social interaction.

Our transformative 45-minute sessions offer children and young adults the chance to enhance their flexibility, body awareness, and extend their range of motion. Experience the magic of focused training and improve your posture like never before. Come dressed in your comfy attire, lace-up your tennis shoes, and don’t forget your water bottle.

Summer break is an amazing time for kids, but as parents/guardians, we can’t help but worry that all this time off from school will cause their skills to fall behind. This concern is amplified for kids with developmental and physical diagnoses. That’s why we have crafted clinician-led summer programs throughout all our clinics. For our 2024 summer programming, kids can work on improving gross and fine motor skills, physical fitness, range of motion, language skills, handwriting, and picky eating issues! Now they can increase their therapy skills and have fun while doing it!
We collaborate with local community organizations such as libraries or daycares to arrange for trained and licensed therapists to conduct developmental screenings at their location.
This is a free informational group for families with children aged 0-15 months! Our team provides an hourlong presentation, followed by a Q&A session. Additionally, on-site developmental screenings are available upon request.
This is a program for families with high deductibles. We understand that when your deductible is not met, bills can add up fast! Take control of your finances with our help!
It’s natural to have questions and concerns about what to expect during your first visit with us, so here is a summary of what you can expect on your evaluation.
Navigating the landscape of pediatric therapy services can be complex, particularly when differentiating between outpatient and school-based therapy services. Our guide helps make sense of the differences and similarities.
