Frequently Asked Questions
If you notice any delays or difficulties in language, movement skills, hand functions, swallowing, eating, self-care, social interaction, focus, attention, school or academic skills, you may bring your child to a developmental pediatrician or other trusted professionals for assessment. You will then know, after a thorough evaluation, whether an OT, PT, Speech Pathologist, SPED, or any other therapeutic intervention will be needed.
Therapy (whether occupational, physical, speech or SPED) will help you understand and address the developmental, motor, sensory, cognitive, behavioral and other challenges of your child. At the same time, working with the therapists will enable you to have a better grasp of your child’s condition and help you participate more fully in your child’s development, as they teach you approaches and techniques on how to manage your child’s concerns in different settings.
Occupational therapy will help your child develop functional motor, behavior, sensory, play, social and cognitive skills necessary for daily living.
Physical therapy uses exercises and play based activities to improve your child’s mobility, movement, coordination, strength, flexibility and balance.
Speech and Language therapy aims to develop and maximize your child’s communicative potential so he/she can be effective listeners and speakers.
Special Education (SPED) focuses on preparing your child academically (reading, spelling, and math) for school success.
You may opt to call or visit the center to inquire about the therapy services your child was recommended for. The center will get your child’s info and ask for copies of the referral letter and all other available reports that are pertinent to therapy. You will then be given a schedule for evaluation.
During your first day of evaluation, your therapist will be gathering important information about your child through standardized tests, parent and child interview, and he/she will also be observed during play and unstructured tasks.
Our center is a sensory gym where kids can freely move, explore, and have fun. Together with your therapist, you can go in and play with your child so more natural and spontaneous responses can be observed. Be ready to relay your goals for your child as they will be a major consideration in therapy intervention.
The length of therapy needed will depend on how quickly your child progresses towards the goals set since every child is unique and will have different challenges. Consistent follow through of the home program, strong collaboration with your child’s school teachers and other professionals will also help with your child’s improvement and duration of therapy.
