Pediatric Therapy for Developmental Delays
in Dacula, Gainesville, Brookhaven, GA
Does your child seem to struggle with activities that other kids their age can do well? Are they having trouble reaching milestones like sitting up, speaking, or eating solid foods? These delays can impact your child’s ability to play, learn, and interact with the world around them as they grow. But there is an easy way to help your child catch up.
At Tender Ones Therapy Services, we help children overcome developmental delays and build the skills they need to thrive. Our expert therapists offer both traditional and intensive therapy programs to meet your child’s unique needs and help them thrive.
What Are Developmental Delays?
A developmental delay is when a child does not reach the expected milestones for their age in one or more areas of development. These areas include motor skills, speech and language, cognitive abilities, social-emotional skills, and feeding. While all children develop at their own pace, a significant delay is a sign that your child might need pediatric therapy to reach their fullest potential.
Signs of a Developmental Delay in Children
If you notice that your child isn’t meeting certain milestones, it could mean they have a developmental delay. Common signs to watch for include:
- Delayed rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking
- Difficulty using hands for tasks like grasping objects, drawing, or feeding
- Limited or unclear speech by ages 2 or 3
- Difficulty understanding or following instructions
- Limited eye contact or engagement with others
- Challenges with coordination, balance, or repetitive movements
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or accepting a variety of foods
How Intensive Pediatric Therapy Can Treat Developmental Delays
Children with developmental delays often need focused, repetitive practice to build and master new skills. While traditional weekly therapy provides a strong foundation, children who need additional support can benefit from longer and more frequent sessions. Our intensive pediatric therapy programs offer extended, one-on-one treatment sessions tailored to each child’s unique needs.
During an intensive therapy program, children receive multiple hours of therapy each day over a set period of weeks. This high level of repetition helps them solidify skills more quickly. Our intensive programs include:
- Intensive physical therapy
- Intensive occupational therapy
- Intensive feeding therapy
Our intensive therapy programs set us apart by delivering faster results for children with developmental delays. We also partner with your family so you feel empowered to help your child continue making progress at home.
