Physical Therapy Department

The goal of the Physical Therapy Department at the Center for Disabilities and Development is to maximize function and quality of life. We work with individuals and families to:

• Promote gross motor development
• Prevent deformity
• Improve mobility and gait
• Optimize seated and standing positions
• Select orthotics - braces and other devices
• Improve fitness

We also work closely with local providers, such as school therapy staff. In addition, we train physical therapy students, and host continuing education conferences for pediatric therapists.
