We provide language therapy for children presenting with delays in their acquisition of receptive and expressive language in the areas of semantic language, syntax and morphology, and/or social/pragmatic language skill. We address problems with processing auditory information, phonemic/phonological awareness, and executive functioning. We provide language stimulation and parent coaching.
Our offices have feeding specialists who both evaluate and treat children who present with feeding difficulties including: transition from G-tube to oral feeding, poor weight gain, difficulty with texture transition, difficulty swallowing, food refusal and feeding aversions, and oral motor delay.
Social Skills Groups are offered for children ages 3-18 years. These groups focus on social engagement and interaction skills, ranging from turn-taking and playing cooperatively to conversational skills, perspective taking, making friends and keeping friends.
Good Beginnings OTs and PTs work collaboratively to help your children and family achieve your goals, utilizing similar but distinct approaches. Pediatric Occupational Therapy focuses on assisting children with promoting independence in activities of everyday life, otherwise known as “occupations.’ Children’s occupations include: reaching developmental milestones, engaging in play, performing self care (eating, sleeping, dressing, grooming, bathing), performing academic tasks (handwriting, fine motor skills, attention/focus), and socializing.
Pediatric Physical Therapists focus on optimizing movement for all children, from birth to adulthood. Our therapists will evaluate your child’s movement abilities and create a plan of care to help your family achieve your goals. This may also include prescribing mobility and exercise equipment, orthotics, assistive devices, and developmental toys. All of our intervention is play based; we make the challenges fun! Learn more!
