Pediatrics Plus is a specialized pediatric healthcare provider. We utilize a unique and innovative blended service model designed to produce the best outcomes for children. Pediatrics Plus operates with a very progressive mindset. Each year, we continue to search for and discover more effective ways to achieve greater outcomes for our clients.

Pediatrics Plus focuses on the whole child through a multi-disciplinary approach to therapy. While looking at the child's strengths and needs in the areas of occupational, physical, and speech therapy; a treatment plan is created in order to help a child magnify their strengths and improve their needs.

Physical therapy is a profession that specializes in the evaluation and treatment of diagnoses that limit physical function. Physical therapy might be needed any time a problem with a child's movement is limiting his/her ability to perform daily activities.

The pediatric physical therapists here at Pediatrics Plus specialize in developing or restoring a child's ability to perform movements like rolling, crawling, walking, running, and jumping, also known as gross motor movements.We begin this process with a comprehensive evaluation.

As stated on the American Occupational Therapy Association website, occupational therapy helps people "participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations)."

Pediatric occupational therapy is aimed to help infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents participate in their daily occupations, such as play, social interaction, school, community outings, and self-care activities with a focus on the individual's ability rather than disability.

Speech-language therapy is a profession that specializes in the evaluation and treatment of disorders and delays that limit a child's ability to communicate with others and/or participate in safe and age appropriate feeding. Speech-language therapy might be needed when a child's communication or feeding skills limit his/her ability to function in daily activities.
