Evaluation and Treatment

Your child's therapist will perform a comprehensive assessment on the first visit that will include an evaluation of:

• Muscle tone
• Motor development
• Range of motion and strength
• Balance and coordination
• Posture and motor control

Based on the results of your child's evaluation, your therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan to address your child's specific needs.
