Still waiting on a formal diagnosis?
Sometimes it can be helpful to look at a child’s presentation rather than their diagnosis.
The children who receive treatment at Children’s TherAplay have deficits and/or delays that fall into the following categories.
- Cognitive function
- Communication
- Coordination
- Dynamic postural control
- Mobility
- Muscle tone
- Postural alignment
- Range of motion
- Sensorimotor function
And help celebrate their great gains! For some children that means learning to stand, crawl, or walk for the very first time. For others it means being able to get dressed, feed themselves, or participate in the classroom. For all of them, it’s about living life to the fullest. |
