Comprehensive Evaluations
Physical therapy evaluations assess your child's ability to move and play. Evaluations typically consist of a thorough caregiver interview to understand your concerns and goals, as well as observations and interactions with the child to see their skills in action. Depending on the reason for the evaluation, a standardized assessment may be administered to understand how your child's skills are developing relative to same-age children. Together, we will make a treatment plan to help your child reach their full potential!
Our Therapy Approach
Physical therapists at Mighty Kids Therapy make sessions playful, engaging, and effective! We use the latest research along with a therapeutic play model to make sure that your child reaches their goals, all while building connections and having fun. We also encourage caregivers to be involved in the therapy process to help support new skills outside of the clinic. Parents, family members, and guardians are always welcome to join in on sessions to see what we are doing and learn helpful strategies to implement at home with confidence.
