Pediatric Therapy
At HealthPRO Pediatrics’ Brandon clinic, we believe that the best way to provide pediatric therapy is by placing families at the center of the process. We are committed to assisting children and families, and our team works closely with both to help children overcome obstacles and excel in various settings, including home, school, and the community. Our team consists speech-language pathologists (SLPs), and occupational therapists (OTs), who are committed to creating tailored, evidence-based, and family-focused treatment plans to help your child. We provide a range of pediatric therapy services, and our approach ensures that all of your child’s therapy providers collaborate seamlessly.
Speech therapy focuses on improving communication skills by developing and enhancing techniques through verbal language, sign language, or language using assistive technology. Through speech therapy, your child can effectively interact with family and friends and address the function of facial muscles and structures necessary for speech, feeding, and swallowing.
At our pediatric clinic in Brandon, our speech therapists work with children of all ages, ranging from infants to teenagers. They can address a broad spectrum of speech and language issues, including but not limited to, articulation disorders, stuttering, voice disorders, receptive and expressive language disorders. Our therapists use a diverse range of techniques and approaches to help children improve their speech and language skills. These approaches may include play-based therapy, language drills, and social communication interventions.
Speech Therapy Can Include:
• Expressive language/Receptive language
• Auditory processing disorders
• Articulation + phonological processes
• Late talkers, preschool language disorders
• Augmentative + alternative communication
• Childhood apraxia of speech + dysarthria
• Selective mutism
• Pragmatic language disabilities + social skills
• Orofacial myofunctional disorders
Occupational therapy is a treatment that assists children in enhancing sensory, cognitive, physical, and motor skills, as well as addresses environmental, social, or psychological factors that may impact a child’s development. The primary focus of occupational therapy is to help children achieve independence in everyday activities, such as eating, playing, dressing, practicing handwriting, or maintaining balance.
Our team of compassionate and highly skilled pediatric occupational therapists work with children by providing a variety of activities to improve their coordination, motor skills, sensory processing, and cognitive abilities. These activities may include engaging in creative activities, playing with toys and games, working on puzzles, or drawing and coloring.
Occupational therapy can include:
• Pre-writing skills
• Cognitive skills
• Sensory integration
• Fine motor skills (grasping a toy or pencil)
• Balance + coordination
• Assessing or adjusting equipment
• Visual motor skills
• Daily routines (bathing, dressing, brushing teeth)
• Feeding techniques
• Oral motor coordination
