Physical & Development Disabilities

If your child has a disability that impacts on their physical abilities we can help you and your child achieve goals. There are many different types of disabilities around the world. Before treating your child, we will be open and honest about the types of conditions we have previously treated so that you know your child is in the best care possible! We are always willing to learn about conditions that we have not worked with before, and work with you as a team, to better improve your child’s abilities. We treat children for early intervention 0-5 years of age and when children are of school age 5-18.
