Individualized Rehabilitation for Your Child

Working closely with you and your child’s primary care pediatrician or specialist, our therapists develop a rehab plan individualized for your child’s needs and keep your child’s physician updated as to progress and treatment. Many years of pediatric expertise are shared among our staff of interdisciplinary specialists.

The specially trained staff consists of occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech/language pathologists whose certifications also include early intervention, special education, sensory integration (Praxis Test), and the Wilbarger Protocol, an approach to the treatment of sensory defensiveness.

Serving children from birth to 18 years of age, Saint Anne’s pediatric rehabilitation program includes:

  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech-language therapy
  • Sensory integrative therapy
  • Neurodevelopmental treatment-based programs
  • Craniosacral therapy
  • Feeding/swallowing therapy

In addition, we provide comprehensive evaluations, treatments, and school consultation when needed.

Our complete home programming and parental education are essential components that give you peace of mind and confidence.
