Pediatric Services and your Child

Newborns to teenagers

How we are different than a pediatric clinic?

A pediatric clinic is preferable for most children with sensory processing disorders or motor coordination difficulties because of the equipment and potential for interaction with other children and parents. However there are times when a therapist coming to the home is beneficial:

• Child’s response to being out
• Parents or siblings would benefit from learning how to make the home a more sensory appropriate place for the child (activities, equipment…)
• Transportation issues
• Needs of other siblings
• Insurance reasons

The following websites provide excellent descriptions of pediatric services, research and resources.
