Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Our pediatric occupational therapists (OT) provide skilled treatment to help children achieve independence in all parts of their lives. They specialize in developing skills for the many “jobs” associated with life as a child. Occupational therapists have either a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in occupational therapy, they have passed a national board examination, and are licensed to provide services in Kentucky.
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapists (PTs) work with children and their families to assist each child in reaching their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation in home, school, and community environments. Physical therapists use their expertise in movement and apply clinical reasoning through the process of examination, evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention. As primary health care providers, PTs also promote health and wellness as they implement a wide variety of supports for children from infancy through adolescence in collaboration with their families and other medical, educational, developmental, and rehabilitation specialists.
Pediatric physical therapy promotes independence, increases participation, facilitates motor development and function, improves strength and endurance, enhances learning opportunities, and eases challenges with daily caregiving.
Pediatric Speech Therapy
Speech-Language Pathology offers evaluation and specialized treatment to infants and children with a variety of communication disorders. Our Pediatric Speech Therapists (ST) integrate all aspects of speech and language development, not just how clearly a child speaks. This includes receptive and expressive language, pragmatic language, articulation, respiration and fluency. Cognitive components such as problem solving and reasoning are also addressed by speech therapists. Other aspects of treatment may include the development and training of alternative and augmentative communication, oral motor abilities, swallowing and feeding skills.
Speech-language pathologists are required to have either a master’s or doctoral level degree in speech-language pathology before taking a national board examination and completing a supervised Clinical Fellowship Year. Typical areas of study include anatomy and physiology, neurolinguistics, speech science, physical science, human development, psychology, phonetics, social/behavioral sciences, linguistics, and semantics. Our therapists are licensed to practice in Kentucky and maintain certification by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association.
Individual & Family Mental Health Therapy
Our individual child and family counseling program is geared towards helping families become the best they can be, by giving parents and children tools for success. Starting intervention early provides children, adolescents and their parents the keys to help them thrive in school and home life. Wherever a family finds themselves, counseling can provide encouragement and support to create a more loving and successful home.
