What We Offer

This therapy includes treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, health, wellness, and fitness of the patient population in an aquatic environment with or without the use of assistive, adaptive, orthotic, protective, or supportive devices and equipment. Interventions for people of all ages with various disabilities, disorders, or conditions are enhanced when performed within an aquatic environment. Aquatic therapy interventions are designed to maintain or improve function, balance, coordination, and agility, flexibility, aerobic capacity/endurance conditioning, gait locomotion, and body mechanics and postural stabilization.

Children with auditory processing difficulties may experience difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, following directions, and distinguishing between similar sounds. Our therapists use a variety of interventions to address these symptoms to help your child be successful at home, school, and in their extracurricular activities.

This stands for Balance, Auditory, and Vision exercises. This terminology is used most often to describe exercises that use rhythm and focused attention to help participants improve a variety of skills. It is a series of 300 exercises, most of which are done with sand-filled bags, often while standing on a Bal-A-Vis-X balance board. Requiring multiple thousands of mid-line crossings in three dimensions, these exercises are steadily rhythmic, with a pronounced auditory foundation, an executed pace that naturally results from proper physical techniques. Bal-A-Vis-X enables the whole mind-body system to experience the symmetrical flow of a pendulum.

Occupational therapy (OT) can play a unique and holistic role in treating bowel and bladder issues by integrating primary motor patterns—also known as primitive reflexes or developmental movement patterns—into treatment. These foundational movement patterns are established in infancy and provide the building blocks for postural control, coordination, and bodily awareness, all of which are critical for healthy pelvic function.

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Our skilled occupational and speech therapist will collaborate to develop a personalized plan to help your child reach their full academic potential.

The ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists. Examples of fine motor skills include holding a pencil or scissors, writing, cutting, threading beads, playing with Legos, or buttoning up a coat.

These are skills that refer to the movement of the muscles of the face (mouth, jaw, tongue, and lips). This includes muscle tone, muscle strength, range of motion, speed, coordination, and dissociation (the ability to move oral structures, such as tongue and lip, independently of each other). This can impact feeding skills and can be addressed through OT intervention from birth through the lifespan.

Picky eating is characterized by an unwillingness to eat familiar foods or to try new foods, as well as strong food preferences. The consequences may include poor dietary variety during early childhood. Causes of picky eating include early feeding difficulties, late introduction of lumpy foods at weaning, pressure to eat, and early choosiness. Our therapists work to create a personalized feeding approach to assist with expanding your child’s diet.

MNRI- The MNRI (Masgutova NeuroSensory Reflex Integration) method isolates reflex dysfunction, engages restorative techniques targeting underlying neurosensorimotor dysfunction, and works toward facilitating the integration process, resulting in improvements and sometimes even complete recovery of general function. MNRI upper limb techniques target reflexes and the underlying neuro-structural system to engage and improve manual, gross, or fine motor skill function and speech delays.

Gentle rocking and reflex integration movements that stimulate neural pathways and promote learning, emotional balance, and ease of movement. There have been many instances of positive shifts and change as these reflexes integrate, and we form a proper basis for moving and learning. The types of rhythmic movement activities include skipping, marching, galloping, and turning and bending. Our therapists have been trained to implement this protocol in conjunction with MNRI to achieve the highest level of success with each child.

A process in the brain that allows us to take information we receive from our five senses, organize it, and respond appropriately. Sensory integration focuses primarily on three basic senses-tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive. Their interconnections start forming before birth and continue to develop as the person matures and interacts with his/her environment.

Daily Living Skills

This refers to a wide range of personal self-care activities across home, school, work, and community settings that a child completes throughout their day. Occupational therapy works to assist kids and young adults reach their full potential with these tasks. Daily living skills can be impacted for a variety of reasons, our team will complete an activity analysis and create a plan for your child to be the most successful with their daily routine.

Social-Emotional Regulation refers to the process by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express their feelings. Emotional regulation can be automatic or controlled, conscious or unconscious, and may have effects at one or more points in the emotion-producing process.

Our team has been trained to implement TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) with all of our clients. A few of our therapists specialize in working with kids who have experienced trauma. We address the whole person by assisting with the social emotional regulation or other symptoms secondary to trauma.

The ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists. Examples of fine motor skills include holding a pencil or scissors, writing, cutting, threading beads, playing with Legos, or buttoning up a coat.

A non-invasive therapy that uses an electrical current to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing. Electrical stimulation is used to aid muscle strengthening and muscle recruitment to rehabilitate the swallow.
