Supporting you every step of the way
Outpatient Pediatric therapy services help many infants and children to participate in age-appropriate activities at home, at school, and in the community. The Outpatient Pediatric Therapy team at UnityPoint Health - Meriter provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy for children from birth through adolescence, as well as case management for families who need assistance in problem solving, advocacy, and resource referrals. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures communication amongst the team, as well as with each child’s medical and/or school team as needed.
Our highly trained therapists recognize that each child has unique needs requiring different treatment approaches at different stages of development. Our goal is to help with what is important to you and your child, and to find ways for you to build therapy activities into your everyday life to help your child reach their greatest potential.
