Speech & Language Therapy

Speech Therapy

Pediatric speech therapy treats many different communication challenges as well as oral-motor concerns. A speech disorder is characterized by difficulty in producing speech sounds correctly, substituting sounds for a different sound, deleting sounds in words when talking, adding sounds or changing the order of sounds. If your child is difficult to understand, is not saying words or has trouble putting words together, speech therapy would be beneficial.

Language Therapy

Language is composed of both expressive and receptive language. Therapy for expressive language will focus on your child’s ability to express their thoughts and feelings. This also includes vocabulary and use of grammar. Therapy for receptive language focuses on your child’s ability to process and understand language including following directions.

Pediatric Physical Therapy

At Turning Wheels, physical therapy incorporates the partnership between the child, family and therapist to assist each child in reaching their maximum potential. Our physical therapists incorporate the most up-to-date research to support the care of each child.

Physical therapy is a skilled service that designs comprehensive programs for children who may have deficits in gross motor development, strength, mobility, posture, balance, coordination, gait, developmental delay, and much more. We recognize that each child is unique, and specialized goal-directed plans of care are created to best meet the needs of each child. Physical therapy can greatly assist a child to achieve long-term results that will continue through adolescence and adulthood.

Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy is specially designed for children who experience difficulty chewing and/or swallowing food and/or liquids. Feeding therapy is also very beneficial for children who are considered to be “picky eaters” and are only willing to eat a limited variety of foods.
