Speech-Language Pathologists are professionals dedicated to providing the highest quality of therapy and assist children in developing the speech and language skills necessary to communicate with the important people in their lives. Effective communication is essential to a child’s happiness and success at home, at school, and in community activities. At Spectrum Pediatrics, we strive to help children find their voices so that they can live full, fun, and social lives.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work with children of all ages to help them participate in daily life activities or “occupations.” The typical occupations of childhood include play, feeding, sleeping, and participation in age-appropriate family routines. A variety of disabilities, developmental delays, and dysfunctions can interfere with a child's ability to develop competence in the occupations of childhood. Pediatric occupational therapists help children become more independent, playful, and healthy members of their families and communities.
Nutrition Therapy
Registered Dietitians are healthcare professionals who provide medical nutrition therapy and preventive nutrition counseling. Nutrition therapy can help prevent and manage diseases that impact your child’s health, fitness and overall well-being. A dietitian provides a complete assessment of your child’s overall nutritional status, medical information and history of dietary habits, followed by a personalized treatment plan. Dietitians work with children with a variety of medical conditions, developmental dysfunctions, and family habits that impact growth and overall health. At Spectrum Pediatrics, out dietitians are trained in helping children and families develop healthy relationships with food and achieve wellness.
