Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy is concerned with the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention of children, aged birth through adolescence, who are experiencing functional limitations or disability due to trauma, a disorder, or disease process.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists are trained to assist people of all ages to perform the functional tasks that normally occupy their lives.
The occupation of childhood is to develop the skills necessary to become functional and independent adults. These skills include:
regulation of arousal level in order to attend,
refinement of sensory discrimination and processing,
continual refinement and development of motor skills,
development of communication skills, appropriate social interactions, language and cognitive skills,
development of age appropriate self care skills, and
refinement of self concept.
