Physical Therapy

The physical therapists at MedCare will work with the child and family to address any problem areas that may interfere with optimal motor function. The therapists use a wide variety of exercises and treatments to help children reach their maximum potential, including techniques the parents can continue to use at home to support ongoing therapy.

Occupational Therapy

MedCare’s occupational therapists help children improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily living environments. They help children pursue the “occupations” of learning, playing, and growing, not only improving their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. Occupational therapists help children to achieve productive and satisfying lives.

Speech Pathology

MedCare’s speech pathologists are dedicated to providing quality and innovative speech language therapy services to children through age 12. We treat children with:

• Speech disorders
• Language disorders
• Cognitive disorders
• Communication disorders
• Voice disorders
• Swallowing disorders
• Fluency disorders

These disorders may have been acquired from

• Developmental delays
• Brain injury
• Hearing impairment
• Cerebral palsy
• Cleft palate
• Mental retardation
• Emotional problems

MedCare’s caring speech therapists will work with the child and family to identify, treat, and help prevent speech and language disorders.

Developmental Therapy

Developmental therapy focuses on the whole child. Each area of development is assessed:

• Cognitive

  Social

Treatment concentrates on combining areas together for optimum learning for the child.
