Child & Family

Most often it is the more severely involved or neurologically injured child who is referred to physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy at an early age. 

However, an increasing number of infants and toddlers have mild to moderate developmental issues that will greatly benefit from the therapeutic expertise of skilled pediatric therapy. Some infants may have a known diagnosis of Down syndrome, Failure to Thrive, Prematurity and others may be affected by back sleeping or multiple ear infections or other causal factors. Some toddlers may simply be experiencing a developmental delay in walking, talking or overall decreased socialization.

When we are able to begin treatment with these children before the age of 3, progress often occurs more rapidly. Families find their stress and concern lessened because of the support they receive from our team of clinicians. There are agencies in the area that offer therapy in a home based, or natural environment. Here, we offer clinic-based therapy. We find that many children benefit from working directly with a therapist in a therapeutic setting which is designed to support new learning techniques. Our clinics are equipped with the tools, toys and equipment that are needed to evaluate and treat children. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the therapeutic process and are provided guidance to promote continuous progress in the home environment.

We promote and provide early intervention for infants and young children in Charlotte.
