Pediatric Therapy
Reid's Children’s Therapy Services is concerned about every area of your child’s development – physical, emotional, social and language. We can help your child to reach his or her potential through occupational and physical therapy speech pathology, nutrition and social work services in our unique natural play environment. Children can storm the fort, climb a mountain, slide down a tree, swing from the rafters, take a ride on a zip line rock climb and jump in a ball pit as they grow stronger in their overall development. For the children it is fun and games, but our therapists know that it is hard work made fun.
Physical therapy
Pediatric physical therapy evaluates and treats infants, children and young adults with neurological, orthopedic or developmental delay problems.
Our MASS system provides partial support for body weight. The MASS system may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan to aid a child’s progress toward the ability to move independently.
Occupational therapy
A child’s occupations are growing and play. Occupational therapy guides children to reach their potential.
Speech-language pathology
Speech-language pathologists identify and treat speech and language disorders such as articulation concerns, “late” talking and other language learning problems.
Speech language pathology assesses and treats your child’s communication skills. These include speech, language, play and interaction development. The focus could be on oral-motor skills, stuttering, tongue thrust, voice or augmentative communication. Parents are provided with strategies to help their child to communicate better at home and in the community.
Social Work
Our social workers collaborate with therapists to provide a supportive environment for parents. Social workers can assist with insurance, behavior, and school issues and can refer families to appropriate community resources. Social workers can also provide family counseling, child/parent counseling, parenting skills training and infant mental health support.
Nutrition Services
Your child’s nutrition and eating patterns are vital to overall growth and development.
Early intervention specialists
Our pediatric therapists are specialists in early intervention. From birth to age 5 children develop at an accelerated rate. Problems during this period can have long-term effects on the child’s development. Our therapists have undergone and continue to undergo extensive, additional training to stay on the cutting edge of treating our youngest patients. Children respond faster and with much less difficulty when developmental problems are identified at an early age. Often, children will see multiple therapists, and a team approach identifies children who are falling behind the normal developmental milestones. Depending on the child’s age, the therapists will assess things like crawling, walking, hand-eye coordination, communication, feeding, social interaction and play skills to determine developmental status.
