Our Pediatric Therapy Services
Every child is different, and so is the level of care we provide. At Stepping Stones, we offer a full range of pediatric services to support your child’s development naturally and effectively. Our services include:
Speech Therapy
Our speech language pathology team helps children build the skills they need to express themselves clearly and confidently. We support everything from early language delays to more complex communication needs with patience and expert care.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help children develop the fine motor, sensory, and self-care skills they need for everyday success. We take a play-based approach to help children build independence in a way that feels fun and engaging.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists focus on helping children move with strength, balance, and coordination. Whether your child is learning to crawl, walk, or improve their athletic skills, we use movement and structured play to encourage progress.
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy supports children who struggle with picky eating, oral-motor issues, or sensory-based challenges. Our certified feeding therapist works closely with families to create positive mealtime experiences that encourage safe and healthy eating habits.
Social Skills Groups
Our small group sessions help preschool and young adult build pragmatic communication and social skills. We work on turn-taking, conversation skills, reading nonverbal cues, and much more. These groups are led by our licensed speech therapy team.
