Services
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy at Pediatric Helping Hands Therapy focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living activities for children. Our therapists address conditions like Autism, Sensory Integration Disorder, and Developmental Coordination Disorder using play-based interventions. We help children achieve independence in self-care, school performance, and social interactions through personalized treatment plans.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy services target gross motor development, strength, and mobility for children with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy and Hypotonia. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve sitting, crawling, walking, and balance. Treatment includes orthotic assessments and interventions for neurological or musculoskeletal impairments in a supportive environment.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy addresses speech sound disorders, language delays, and feeding difficulties in children. Our pathologists treat conditions like Apraxia, Stuttering, and Dysphagia using approaches such as PROMPT and NDT. We focus on enhancing communication skills, social language, and oral-motor function through individualized sessions.
Splinting and Orthotics
Splinting and Orthotics services provide customized devices to improve hand function and joint alignment. Our therapists design splints for children with conditions like Cerebral Palsy or post-surgical needs. These orthotic solutions support therapeutic goals and enhance daily activity performance.
Serial Casting
Serial Casting is used to gradually improve range of motion in children with muscle tightness or contractures. This technique involves applying a series of casts over weeks to achieve optimal joint mobility. It is commonly used for conditions like Cerebral Palsy or Torticollis.
