Process overview
What to expect in pediatric physical therapy
1
Evaluation
The child’s therapist begins with a thorough assessment to understand sensory processing, fine motor, and daily living skills. They observe how the child moves, focuses, and participates in routines at home, school, and play.
2
Goal setting
Using family input along with the therapist’s observations and assessment data, the therapist outlines short- and long-term goals — from self-feeding and dressing to emotional regulation and handwriting success.
3
Play-Based Therapy
Therapy sessions are fun, movement-rich, and child-led. Play builds foundational skills for attention, coordination, and confidence, and problem solving — so children learn and grow while having fun.
4
Real-Life Practice
Skills are practiced in meaningful ways, like climbing, cutting, drawing, or calming the body for transitions — connecting therapy to real daily routines to support independence.
5
Caregiver Coaching
Parents and caregivers receive hands-on strategies, sensory tools, and visuals to use at home. Simple routines are shared to make meaningful progress between sessions.
6
Collaboration
With Village, progress updates and goals are shared in one secure place so caregivers and providers stay connected. Children thrive when everyone works together as a team.
