Pediatric Therapy

Reid Health's pediatric Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech-Language Pathologists provide a team approach to quality services to help children, infants, and young adults, reach their full potential. We know that a child's team includes their family so we work with parents to create an individualized plan of care for their child. Our expert therapists serve more than 300 families in Wayne and surrounding counties each week.

Our state-of-the-art pediatric rehabilitation suite was recently renovated with a child's needs in mind. At Reid Health, we realize that play is the foundation of learning and we use play to help children and families reach their goals. During therapy you might see a child climb a tree, fish from a suspension bridge, swing, or make musical sounds.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists guide children to reach their maximum potential and independence in all areas.

Physical Therapy

Pediatric physical therapists specialize in the evaluation and treatment of developmental, neurological, and genetic conditions through the span of a child's life.

Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are able to provide assessment of and treatment of speech, language, social, fluency, voice, swallowing, and cognitive-communication deficits in children, adolescents, and adults.

Feeding and Swallowing Program

Feeding is the process of bringing food from the plate to the mouth, eating refers to the ability to effectively break down food using oral motor skills, and swallowing is the action of moving food/liquid from the mouth to the esophagus (e.g. tube that carries food into the stomach) in a safe and effective manner. It is possible for a child to have a deficit in one or all areas.

Social Thinkers Group

In our Social Thinkers Groups, we foster team work and leadership above all else. Our facility allows the unique opportunity to match ages and interests with both a speech and occupational therapy perspective to best meet your child's needs.

Pediatric Intensive Neuro Functional Strengthening Program

Our TheraSuitTM INFS Program includes four weeks of three-hour sessions, four days a week and is provided by physical and occupational therapists that are specifically trained to use the TheraSuit Method.

Bringing your child to Physical, Occupational, and/or Speech therapy is a commitment to collaborate with your therapist on your child's plan of care. When enrolled in therapy it is expected that the parent regularly practice the activities in their home program.

Participating in a once weekly therapy appointment is not enough to elicit permanent change, but altering the way that your child completes tasks that occur every day provides your child with the consistency they need to replace inefficient habits. The goal is for the child to become functional within their natural environment, using the supports and adaptations learned in therapy to engage in what they love.

Therapy is intended to be only a part of your child's life journey during times of need. This may mean your child will have periods of multiple therapies, one therapy, or no therapy depending on his or her current priorities.
