Success Stories

Cassidy Allen

"He is the [most] strong-willed and bold toddler I've ever met," Katie Allen said of her son, Cassidy. However, his low muscle tone began to impact his ability to perform daily activities. Katie noticed he was floppy and would quickly tire after physical activity. That's when she sought occupational and physical therapy. Working closely with Pediatric Occupational Therapist Megan Derrig, Cassidy started to gain strength and confidence. Megan focuses on activities that accommodate Cassidy's needs and ensures that he finds them enjoyable. Each week, Cassidy looks forward to his appointments, confident in his independence. "Watching my son surpass so many fine motor delays thanks to Megan has been the highlight of motherhood," Katie said. "His entire daily life has changed for the better and I'm so excited to see what is to come." Katie, thank you for choosing us for your son's care.

Small group therapy also can be helpful for some children to build social skills and communication.
