Pediatric Therapy Q & A

What is pediatric therapy?

Pediatric therapy aims to help children regain, improve, or develop their physical, cognitive, or motor functions so they can learn, function, and play in developmentally appropriate ways.

At A Grade Therapy, Aaron thoroughly evaluates each child and builds an individualized pediatric therapy plan, which may include:

Occupational therapy

This type of therapy helps your child develop fine motor skills, engage in appropriate and independent play, and improve their sensory integration. It can also improve their visual motor and perception skills and make them more confident in helping themselves.

Physical therapy

Physical therapy provides safer and more enjoyable solutions if your child needs to develop better mobility, strength, and range of motion.

Feeding dysfunction therapy

Food and swallowing issues like refusing to eat or drink, spitting up food, and coughing or gagging during meals can make this part of your everyday routine very stressful. Pediatric therapy can help your child work toward healthy weight gain and improved quality of life.

Speech therapy

Speech therapy also treats problems with feeding and swallowing along with articulation, voice, language, and fluency. A Grade Therapy utilizes safe, effective therapies to help your child better communicate their thoughts and needs.

What health conditions can pediatric therapy address?

Your child may benefit from tailored pediatric therapy if they have a chronic illness, a learning disability, or an injury. Pediatric therapy can also improve the quality of life for children with:

Autism
Developmental disorders or delays
Torticollis
Spina bifida
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
Complex wounds
Head or spinal cord injuries
