When movement is hard, it doesn’t just show up physically.

Kids may look clumsy, frustrated, avoidant, or hesitant to try new activities — especially with peers.

Physical Therapy helps kids feel capable in their bodies, which often improves confidence, willingness to try, and participation in play.

📍 We currently have PT availability at our Cupertino location.

Two weeks. Tons of movement. A whole lot of fun! 🥇

Our DICP Olympic Events have brought the energy the past few weeks! Obstacle courses, teamwork, friendly competition, and kids showing off skills they’ve been working so hard on. It’s pretty cool to see what happens when you mix creativity, confidence, and a little bit of Olympic spirit ✨

And none of this magic happens without our dream team! Huge shoutout to OT Kerry and PT Stephanie. The planning, energy, thought, and heart you put into the details shows. This clinic is better because of you!

So proud of our athletes and so grateful for our DICP team.

“They’re just a little wobbly.” We hear this one a lot 💛

Some kids are extra cautious, unsteady, or fall more than expected — even without a diagnosis.

Physical Therapy helps build core strength, balance, and postural control so movement feels safe and predictable.

✨ PT appointments are currently available at our Cupertino location.

Resource Alert! ✨ Emotion Thermometer Check-In✨

This simple tool from our very own OT, Dr. Sahana, helps kids name their feelings without judgment and notice how big those feelings feel in the moment.

Swipe to see real examples — you’ll notice how their “before, during, and after” emotions often shift, and how many end with relief 💛. It’s such a powerful way to help kids experiment with new strategies, see what’s working, and track their progress over time.

Small reflections → big regulation wins.

Does your child avoid the playground or tire faster than other kids?

If running, climbing, or keeping up feels harder than it should, Physical Therapy can help. Some kids sit out, ask to be carried, or avoid gross-motor play simply because it takes so much effort.

👉 We have PT availability at our Cupertino location and are happy to answer questions.
