At 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.
A highly skilled therapist will visit your home to perform an individualized evaluation catered to your concerns. If you have multiple concerns, we can provide therapists from different specialties at the same evaluation. They will share the results with you and together, we can develop a plan that works for your child.
We will perform an insurance verification on your behalf prior to initiation of services in order to make sure you are aware of expected out of pocket costs. We will bill your insurance for services and balance bill you for any patient balance on a monthly basis. No payment is due at the time of service. We offer generous discounts should your insurance company deny coverage.
There is typically no wait for services. Evaluations can generally be scheduled within a week from initial referral or inquiry, depending on overall availability and need. Ongoing therapy can usually be initiated shortly after the initial evaluation, should you and your therapists determine that therapy is a good course of action.
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!
Bright IdeaMolly 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!’”
