Pediatric Development Center provides evaluation and treatment services for children with known and suspected learning and/or developmental problems. Our goal is to help children reach their maximum potential in their home and academic environments.
The children we serve range in age from birth to eighteen years of age, and many demonstrate motor planning and motor development problems, hyperactivity, behavior and attention difficulties, as well as diagnoses of cerebral palsy, developmental delay, autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, learning disability, prematurity, and sensory integration disorder.
We work closely with referring physicians in establishing the appropriate level of therapy services. We place special emphasis on parent education and training regarding each child’s program. Play and learning are the occupations of children and through these activities we improve the foundations for motor skills, daily living skills, attention span, academic performance, behavior and self-coping skills.
