Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OT and PT?
Both occupational and physical therapists work with children on their body movements, coordination, and participation in their environments. PT focuses on balance, strength, range of motion, gross motor skills, and endurance, while OT works on fine motor skills, visual perceptual skills, sensory processing, and activities of daily living.
What kind of challenges does therapy address?
Pediatric therapy addresses the needs of children to improve their functional participation in age appropriate movement patterns and activities. Some diagnoses that we address include autism spectrum disorder, gross and fine motor delays, sensory processing challenges, behavioral difficulties, genetic disorders, Down’s Syndrome, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, cancer, high and low muscle tone, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, ADHD, concussions, seizures, developmental delay, torticollis, idiopathic toe walking, sports injury, and orthopedic injuries.
