Children move and explore their environments. When an infant is unable to move or is delayed in movement skills or exploration abilities, the DDS pediatric physical therapist is there to help. Through the use of activities designed specifically for the infant, the physical therapist can help enhance movement patterns.
The family is instructed how to carry, position and play with their child to incorporate the special activities. The physical therapist also educates the family in gross motor development and what to expect at each developmental stage.
A child who displays delayed gross motor skills will be fully evaluated and then have a program designed to meet the child's and family's needs.
