Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy

Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy is a private practice owned and operated by Melissa Philippsen.

Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy offers a fun and welcoming environment geared toward assisting your child in achieving their Speech, Language, and Fine Motor skill goals. Our goal is to individually work with your child in order to best support him or her in achieving their communication and fine motor skill potential. We use play based therapy to keep your child engaged and encourage generalization of skills to his/her natural environment. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment for your child. It is our goal to provide your child with high quality, individualized therapy sessions. We are honored to work with children in our community to achieve their highest potential in their speech, language and fine motor skills. Our speech and occupational therapists will engage your child in a friendly, fun way as they challenge them to work towards their goals. We enjoy working alongside families in order to teach them strategies to use at home, so that the child can work on their skills throughout the week, and make gains more quickly.

Executive Functioning is a set of skills that allows us to plan, stay safe, and accomplish tasks. The OT Toolbox has a nice explanation of Executive Functioning (EF). Cognitive Flexibility is one example of an important EF skill. All kids need to learn these skills; some children learn them more naturally, and some children require specific teaching of these skills. Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy can help if you feel your child needs more support! Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

Cognitive flexibility is a difficult executive functioning skill for many! https://www.theottoolbox.com/executive-functioning-skills/
