Services
Building Blocks Rehabilitation & Autism Center opened in 2004 and is owned by two therapists, Laura Zaidan, MS, CCC-SLP and Omar Palomin, PT. It was the first facility in the Rio Grande Valley to focus on treating people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Our approach in treating ASD is to incorporate behavior modification and positive reinforcement in all therapy sessions.
Physical therapy helps develop the strength and range of motion children need to move through their environment easily and effectively. Physical therapy goals often target meeting developmental milestones like sitting, standing, crawling and walking.
Our therapist is specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of congenital, developmental, neuromuscular, skeletal, or acquired disorders/diseases.Treatments focus on improving gross and fine motor skills, balance and coordination, strength and endurance as well as cognitive and sensory processing/integration.
