About Us
Blank Children’s Pediatric Therapy offers treatment for kids of all ages who may be in the hospital or who are living at home and come to see us in one of our clinics. Our services include audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech/language therapy.
Family-Centered Treatment
The focus of therapy is to meet your child’s unique needs so they can be their best self and to make things better for both you and your child. We work together with your family, the doctor and teachers to make a treatment plan. The plan will include fun learning activities that will be done one-on-one with a therapist and also with you at home. Part of the plan might be to get special equipment for moving or talking.
We work with your family, teachers and others to help your child be their best self.
