“Pediatric physical therapists work in collaboration with children and their families to provide services aimed at promoting a child’s ability to function independently and participate actively 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. Pediatric physical therapy promotes independence, increases participation, facilitates motor development and function, improves strength and endurance, enhances learning opportunities, and eases challenges with daily care giving.” (APTA, 2014) All of these areas can significantly impact a child’s quality of life. At Progressive Pediatric Therapy, we know the importance of these skills and we can help your child to meet his or her goals through sessions rooted in play and family education!
