Pediatric Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
in Dacula, Gainesville, Brookhaven, GA
Caring for a child with cerebral palsy often involves navigating challenges related to movement, and everyday activities. These obstacles can make it difficult for children to fully participate in school, play with other kids, and handle their own needs.
At Tender Ones Therapy Services, we provide expert pediatric therapy designed to help children with cerebral palsy reach their full potential. Through our specialized intensive physical and occupational therapy programs, we empower children and their families with the tools they need to thrive.
What Is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can happen before or during birth but can also happen due to an injury after a child is born. The good news is that cerebral palsy is not progressive, meaning it doesn’t worsen over time; but its effects can change as a child grows.
Signs of Cerebral Palsy in Children
Cerebral palsy affects each child differently, but the most common symptoms of this condition include:
- Delays in reaching motor milestones, such as rolling, sitting, or walking
- Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as holding objects or writing
- Stiff or rigid muscles
- Floppy or overly relaxed muscle tone
- Difficulty with coordination and balance
- Tremors or involuntary movements
- Preference for using one side of the body
- Challenges with speech or swallowing
How Intensive Pediatric Therapy Can Treat Cerebral Palsy
At TOTS, our therapists are experts in helping children with cerebral palsy develop the skills they need to succeed in daily life. We also offer intensive physical and occupational therapy programs for children who require more focused support.
Repetition is vital for children to build and master new movements. During an intensive program, children participate in several hours of therapy each day over 2 to 3 weeks. This approach gives them the opportunity to practice movements repeatedly and make faster progress than with traditional weekly therapy sessions.
We also give families home exercise programs designed to meet your child’s needs, complete with step-by-step instructions and photos. This ensures your child’s progress can continue outside the clinic and allows you to play an active role in your child’s success.
