Pediatric Therapy

Pediatric services of physical, occupational and speech therapy can assist children in reaching their full potential. Working individually with each family, pediatric therapy services can help children improve their motor skills and strength, coordination, visual-motor abilities, self-help and daily living skills.

 

Physical Therapy

Children who experience difficulties or delays in motor skills such as rolling, crawling and walking, or those who have decreased endurance can benefit from physical therapy. Physical therapists have specialized knowledge to assist children and families with strength, mobility and use of equipment (crutches, walkers, wheelchairs).

 

Occupational Therapy

Children who experience difficulties or delays with hand use, coordination, body awareness and daily living skills (eating, dressing and bathing) can benefit from occupational therapy. Occupational therapists can introduce or evaluate the use of adaptive/assistive equipment. Occupational therapists have specialized knowledge to assist children and their families with fine motor, visual motor, sensory processing and daily living skills.

 

Speech Therapy

Children who experience difficulties or delays with speech fluency, oral-motor skills, articulation and language skills can benefit from speech therapy. Speech pathologists have specialized knowledge to assist children and their families with language, swallowing and communication needs.

 

Common conditions that can benefit from pediatric physical, occupational or

speech therapy include:

• autism
• brachial plexus injury
• brain injury
• cerebral palsy
• congenital disorders
• developmental delay
• down’s syndrome
• juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
• language/speech delays
• motor delays/coordination problems
• oral-motor and feeding skills
• osteogenesis imperfecta
• post surgical needs
• sensory integration dysfunction
• spinabifida
• torticollis
• use of orthotics or splints

Winchester Rehabilitation Center accepts referrals from physicians, schools, early intervention programs, community service agencies, parents and families. Please call for an appointment or speak directly to a pediatric therapist to gather more information.

 

A physician’s prescription for physical, occupational or speech therapy is often required for insurance coverage. Therapists offer extended hours for our pediatric clients.
