Nurturing Every Child, One Step at a Time
At Inclusive Therapies Pediatric Center, we specialize in personalized therapy services for children, fostering growth and development in a supportive environment. Together, we're empowering every child, one step at a time.
Welcome to Inclusive Therapies Pediatric Center!
At Inclusive Therapies Pediatric Center, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for children and families. Our clinic specializes in pediatric therapy services, focusing on social skills development, behavior support, and parent education.
Our Approach
At the heart of our approach lies a commitment to inclusivity and individualized care. We believe that every child is unique and deserving of support tailored to their specific needs. To achieve this, we integrate principles from various disciplines, including Floortime, Child Development, and behavior principles.
Floortime Philosophy:
We embrace the principles of Floortime, a developmental intervention approach that emphasizes meaningful interactions and emotional connections. Through Floortime, we prioritize engaging children in activities that promote relationship-building and emotional regulation, laying the foundation for positive social interactions and cognitive growth.
Behavior Support:
Behavioral challenges can present significant obstacles to a child's well-being and development. Our team of experienced professionals employs evidence-based behavior principles to support children and families in managing and understanding behavior. We provide strategies and tools to promote positive behavior and enhance communication skills.
Child Development Focus:
Understanding the intricacies of child development is fundamental to our practice. We recognize that each child progresses at their own pace and in their own way. By incorporating insights from child development research, we tailor our interventions to support each child's unique developmental journey.
Parent Education:
We believe in the power of parents and caregivers as partners in their child's therapy journey. That's why we offer comprehensive parent education programs aimed at empowering families with knowledge and skills to support their child's development at home. Through workshops, training sessions, and ongoing support, we equip parents with practical strategies to promote their child's social, emotional, and behavioral growth.
At Inclusive Therapies Pediatric Center, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive. Our dedicated team is here to support your family every step of the way on your journey towards growth and success.

Treatment Model
At Inclusive Therapies Pediatric Center, our treatment model is grounded in a holistic and collaborative approach to pediatric therapy. We believe in addressing the whole child, considering their unique strengths, challenges, and individuality. Our treatment model encompasses the following key components:
Individualized Care Plans:
Each child who comes to our center receives a personalized care plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. Our team of experienced therapists conducts thorough assessments to identify areas of concern and develop targeted interventions to address them.
Evidence-Based Practices:
We are committed to utilizing evidence-based practices in our therapy interventions. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in pediatric therapy to ensure that we are providing the most effective and cutting-edge treatments for our clients.
Collaborative Approach:
We believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork. Our therapists work closely with each other, as well as with parents, teachers, and other professionals involved in the child's care, to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to therapy.
Family-Centered Care:
We recognize the crucial role that families play in their child's development and therapy journey. That's why we prioritize family-centered care, involving parents and caregivers as active partners in the treatment process. We provide education, support, and resources to empower families to support their child's progress at home.
Strengths-Based Perspective:
We approach therapy from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on identifying and building upon each child's unique strengths and abilities. By celebrating successes and fostering a positive and empowering environment, we help children develop confidence and resilience.
Multi-Disciplinary Integration:
Our clinic offers a multi-disciplinary approach to therapy, with a team of professionals trained in various specialties, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavior therapy, and more. This allows us to address a wide range of needs and provide comprehensive care under one roof.
Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment:
Therapy is an ongoing process, and we understand that needs may change over time. We regularly monitor each child's progress and adjust treatment plans as needed to ensure that they are receiving the most effective and appropriate interventions for their evolving needs.
By embracing these principles and practices in our treatment model, we strive to provide the highest quality of care for every child who walks through our doors. Our goal is to support each child in reaching their full potential and achieving success in all areas of life.
