Pediatric Therapy Institute has helped over 8000 children from birth through twenty-one since our opening in 1975. We see children with speech/language delays, learning disabilities, dyslexia, sensory integration disorder, developmental delays, head injuries, orthopedic injuries, motor incoordination, perceptual problems, hyperactivity, attention deficit, and emotional/behavioral disorders. Our team provides evaluation and therapy for children having a single problem or a complex syndrome. Caring professionals provide effective, comprehensive treatment at our convenient location. The comfortable atmosphere of our office fosters success and self-confidence.
