She has additional training in Early Postural Acquisition, Pediatric Gait Analysis and Orthotic Intervention, and Functional Electrical Stimulation (with a focus on Cerebral Palsy). In addition, she has completed courses on sensory and motor processing for postural control. She is passionate about helping families become confident in helping their children along their developmental journey and wants all kids to have the opportunity to be active in whatever way works for them.

✨ Now Offering: Primitive Reflex Integration Groups ✨

Did you know that unintegrated primitive reflexes can impact your child’s movement, coordination, attention, and confidence?

That’s why we’ve introduced our Primitive Reflex Integration Group at developt — a play-based, therapist-led group designed to support foundational development in a fun and engaging way.

Before joining the group, each child completes a Primitive Reflex Assessment so we can understand their individual needs and place them in the right group for success.

👧🧒 What makes these groups special:
✔️ Curated by age + skill level
✔️ Small group sizes for individual support
✔️ Movement-based games that keep kids engaged
✔️ Led by pediatric physical therapists who truly understand development

More kids = more creativity, more games, and more confidence — all while ensuring every child feels supported.

In January, Heather will be attending an in-person Theratogs workshop, where she’ll have the opportunity to refine her skills and expand her knowledge in a meaningful, practical way.

She’s most excited to:
💛 Learn new techniques to support functional movement
💛 Strengthen her confidence in using Theratogs during sessions
💛 Bring refined skills and fresh insights directly into her work with kids and families

✨ What We’re Excited For in 2026 — Kara

As part of our 2026 team series, today we’re highlighting what Kara is most excited about — new tools that create new possibilities for the children we serve.
We’ve added a second neuromuscular stimulation machine to the clinic, which means we can now support activation on both sides of the body at the same time.

This allows for more balanced, efficient, and impactful outcomes during therapy.

Kara is looking forward to:
💛 Using dual-side neuro stimulation for improved results
💛 Supporting stronger, more coordinated movement patterns
💛 Building on the fantastic progress we’re already seeing

Innovation is a powerful thing — especially in pediatric PT. 💙
