read moreAt PTN, we believe that pediatric therapy is most effective when it happens at home. By working with children in their own space – their living room, yard, classroom, or even community pool – children can relax and feel more confident. When therapy happens in familiar places around daily routines it’s easier for parents, siblings, and other members of the child’s community to become active participants in the therapeutic process.
We guide your child’s development in a playful and encouraging way, allowing them to meet their highest potential while boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
We listen to your concerns and take them seriously. Together, we’ll create a plan that works best for your family, your child, and their future.
We collaborate with your child’s teachers, pediatricians, and other team members to help ensure that your child receives consistent support.
At Pediatric Therapy Network, we believe that pediatric therapy is most effective when delivered in a child’s natural environment and built around positive, playful interactions that children enjoy and parents can easily emulate. Grounded in a philosophy of evidence-based care and professionalism, our therapists work with each other and with you to help your child strengthen their skills and self-esteem. Like most things in life, therapy is most effective when it’s fun!
Molly Flajole, this month’s featured therapist, encourages parents to take their kids grocery shopping with them when possible. A trip to the grocery store is a great opportunity to work on new language.
Molly says, “Talking to your child about the new foods you see or giving them a choice of something to buy (e.g. ‘Do you want the red apples or green apples?’) allows them to learn new words and concepts — all while completing an errand! It’s also fun to go on a search for the foods you need using fun-yet-predictable phrases like ‘Bananas, where are you?’ and ‘I found it!’”
PTN welcomes therapists who have a proven history of providing therapeutic supports in a playful and family friendly manner. We are looking for therapists who are comfortable working with young children and families in diverse settings. PTN offers a high degree of structured mentorship and support within a collaborative team approach.
