- Physical TherapyKids needing regular occupational or physical therapy can spend many hours in a clinical setting seeing doctors and specialists. Kool Kidz therapists bring treatment to you so our kool kidz can stay in their own environment and learn the skills they need where they’ll use them most. We specialize in pediatric PT and OT for infants, babies, children, teens, and young adults through 21 years.
- Occupational TherapyWe focus on in-home pediatric physical and occupational therapy. Our therapists come to you so kool kidz receive treatment in their natural environment, not a clinic. Besides being in a more comfortable atmosphere, kids get practical therapy involving the surroundings they’re in the most, learning skills they’ll need every day. We build treatment plans upon the foundation of the individual child and their family.
- Aquatic TherapyIn addition to home-based treatment, we offer non-traditional treatments like aquatic therapy since, to most kids, a pool always means fun! Therapy in water provides opportunities to develop and practice movements in a supportive environment before trying to do them on land. In addition to the many physical benefits, aquatic therapy can also improve sensory processing and socialization.
