Early Intervention Therapy

At Kaleidoscope Kids, Early Intervention therapists work with children and families to support developmental progress and skill-building through play. Our licensed Physical Therapists (PTs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) provide therapy in natural environments where children live, play, and grow, (e.g. homes, childcare settings, and community spaces).Our therapies are centered on the whole child and tailored to meet each child and family exactly where they are in their developmental journey. We coach and support families to weave therapeutic strategies into everyday routines, creating meaningful opportunities for consistent growth and practice. Recognizing that families are the most important agents of change in a child’s development, we are dedicated to empowering and supporting caregivers every step of the way!

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy helps children and their families build strength, coordination, and mobility to navigate their daily world with confidence - enabling them to participate fully and joyfully in play, learning, and everyday routines!

Physical therapy addresses a range of developmental areas with a focus on gross motor skills - such as rolling, sitting, walking, stair-climbing, and navigating play environments. They also support fine motor skills (such as using hands to explore and manipulate toys), self-help skills (such as feeding, dressing, and sleeping), and cognitive skills (such as attention, problem solving, cause and effect, etc.). When appropriate, specialized equipment may be introduced to support progress, with careful consideration of how sensory processing influences a child’s development.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy supports children and their families in developing the everyday skills needed for independence and participation in the least restrictive environments - empowering children to focus on their most important work: play!

Occupational therapy addresses a range of developmental areas, with a focus on: fine motor skills - such as using hands to explore and manipulate toys; self help skills - such as feeding, dressing, and sleeping; and sensory processing development - how children take in the world through their senses like touch, sound, movement, and sight. They also support gross motor (such as rolling, sitting, walking, stair-climbing, and navigating play environments) and cognitive skills (such as attention, problem solving, cause and effect, etc.). When appropriate, specialized equipment may be introduced to support progress, with careful consideration of how sensory processing influences a child’s development

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy supports children and their families in developing the communication skills needed to connect with others, engage in everyday routines, and embrace the joy of play!

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work on early language development which includes understanding language, producing language, social communication, and the foundations of speech sounds. They also support social-emotional development and cognitive skills (such as attention, problem solving, cause and effect, etc.). Therapists use play-based, engaging strategies to encourage communication, and always consider how sensory and developmental factors may affect a child’s ability to express themselves. The focus of therapy is on total communication, which involves being able to understand and use language functionally, using whatever method works best for the child. Therapists may support communication development using gestures, sign language, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC).

Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy supports children with feeding difficulties as they learn the mechanics and enjoyment of eating and drinking. Children will learn to explore foods in a safe and fun way while being supported by caregivers. Feeding therapists work to progress a child’s limited range of flavors, textures, or types of foods the child will eat.

Therapists take a whole-child approach, addressing sensory, motor, oral, behavioral, medical, and nutritional aspects of feeding. We understand that feeding difficulties can be stressful not only for the child, but also for parents and the entire family.

Services include initial screenings, comprehensive assessments during typical feeding routines, consultation, and ongoing therapy. We also provide family education, care coordination, and a personalized feeding plan developed in collaboration with the family to meet their unique goals and needs.
