Treatment Philosophy

Pediatric MotorWerks believes in a team approach to providing our clients with the best care possible. We have extensive experience in co-treatment. In some instances, the combination of occupational and physical therapy services enhances the ability of the patient to learn and perform fine and gross motor skills, coordinate and sequence motor patterns, and regulate their body systems. One-on-one treatment is also utilized with more intensive treatment sessions to promote focused learning and skill development. Please discuss these treatment options with your therapist for an individualized treatment plan.

We understand that occupational and physical therapy services are just a start to enhancing the life of your child. We look forward to expanding our services in the future. Let us know about your Speech therapy needs and desire for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) involvement!
