What we do

Pathways offers physical and occupational therapy services provided by licensed, experienced and dedicated providers in their respective field.

OT

Pediatric Occupational Therapists specialize in working with children to help improve a child’s ability to learn, play and develop skills needed to gain independence. Occupational therapists strengthen the development of fine motor skills, sensorimotor processing, and self-regulation skills, visual perceptual skills and visual motor coordination. Occupational Therapists help children perform daily activities that they find challenging by improving their ability and adapting the environment to facilitate success.

PT

Physical Therapists work with individuals to improve their ability to move, restore function and reduce pain, to be able to participate in activities of daily living. Physical therapists work to help the child improve their motor development, coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, and endurance to engage in everyday activities.
