While occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) don’t always co-treat in the same session, collaboration across disciplines plays a powerful role in a child’s progress.
Research shows that interdisciplinary care supports better functional outcomes by addressing the whole child — not just one skill area at a time.
• PT supports posture, strength, and movement foundations
• OT builds regulation, motor planning, and daily life skills
• SLP targets communication, feeding, and social connection
When therapists share goals, strategies, and observations, therapy becomes more cohesive and meaningful — even when sessions happen separately. And from time to time, joint sessions can provide rich opportunities to integrate movement, regulation, and communication in real-time.
Different disciplines. Shared goals. One child-centered approach.
