Developmental Care for Kids
NorthLakes has three kid-focused therapies to help children overcome challenges and build confidence.
Our team works with babies and kids up to age 18. We work with you as a family to make a treatment plan that helps your child reach personal goals and thrive.
We also have a lending closet for certain therapy equipment.
Kid focused therapies:
Not all locations offer all therapies.
Occupational Therapy
We help kids learn, improve, or recover skills they need for everyday life. Occupational therapy may help with things like:
- Reaching growth & development goals
- Fine motor skills, like holding a pencil
- Eating, dressing, and other daily tasks
- Managing feelings and emotions
Physical Therapy
We help kids get stronger, stay balanced, and move better. Physical therapy can increase confidence by helping with things like:
- Balance and coordination
- Weak muscles and pain
- Crawling and walking delays
- Teaching how to use mobility aids
- Recovery after surgery
Speech Therapy
We help kids build communication skills and also work with drinking and eating problems. Speech therapy can help with things like:
- Making speech sounds
- Understanding and using language
- Feeding and swallowing
- Using speech-generating devices
