THERAPY SERVICES
All therapies include in-depth evaluations and individual treatment plans. Functional goals and outcomes are determined. Increased independence and quality of life is our ultimate goal for all those we serve.
Physical therapy seeks to preserve or enhance a person's motor performance especially in the areas of functional mobility and posture, and to prevent further movement problems and physical disabilities. Modalities used may include therapeutic exercise, joint mobility, enhance posture and balance, electric stimulation, taping, treadmill training, and serial casting.
Occupational therapy addresses the areas of hand and fine motor control, activities of daily living (dressing, feeding, handwriting, etc.), visual perceptual skills, and the integration of sensation for function and adaptive use. Modalities used may include kinetic activities, fine motor coordination, developmental stimulation, sensory integration, and adaptive aids.
Speech and language therapy includes traditional articulation, language, voice and fluency therapy as well as oral motor and feeding (sucking, swallowing, chewing) therapy to ensure adequate movements of the oral motor musculature for speech, early language, and cognitive training. Respiration and augmentative communication are also addressed.
