Pediatric Therapy in Austin, TX
Does your child seem to be lagging behind expected developmental milestones such as learning to talk or feed themselves? Is your child particularly sensitive to overstimulation from sights, sounds, or smells? These are just some of the reasons parents seek pediatric therapy for their children.
In Austin, TX, turn to Language & Movement, a board-certified pediatric therapy clinic that can help your child develop the skills they need to have a happy, healthy life.
Why Your Child May Need Pediatric Therapy
As we learn more about developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we also learn how to better handle and work with these disorders. ASD often shows typical signs such as communication issues and oversensitivity, and a therapist can help.
Other issues can also lead to developmental problems. For example, a child with food allergies may develop an aversion to eating or swallowing. Many children stutter or develop other speech impediments as they learn to talk.
A pediatric therapy clinic can work with your child to treat these and many other issues. At Language & Movement, we use a multi-pronged approach to help children learn and grow. Some of the issues we help with include:
- Oral motor skills such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking
- Speech skills such as pronunciation, expression, and comprehension
- Occupational skills such as handwriting, getting dressed, and playing
Our facility includes a large play area where children can learn how their bodies move to work and play. We also have several private rooms so sensitive children can learn and play without being too overwhelmed.
How Language & Movement Can Help
Children are learning a lot, and we believe that they should have multiple approaches to every situation. That’s why we use gyms, sensory play, and private therapy to help your child develop the skills they need for a healthy life.
Whether your child needs individual therapy or help with socializing, the pediatric therapy professionals at Language & Movement have the tools and experience to help your child grow.
