We work closely with families to create personalized therapy plans that build confidence, promote independence, and support lifelong success in a space designed just for kids.

Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy helps children with activities that allow them to experience independent interactions with the world around them. The physical therapy team promotes gross motor activities in a fun environment.
Occupational Therapy
A child’s occupation is to be a kid! Pediatric occupational therapy assists children with developing skills needed for play, school and daily activities. The goal is to help them gain independence and a higher quality of life.
Speech Therapy
Communication is a vital part of our lives. Pediatric speech therapy provides a fun learning experience that helps children expand their communication by improving verbilization, socialization and cognition skills.
