If these walls could talk, what might they say? They would tell of more than 4,000 stories of triumph and success in the lives of children affected by developmental delays, autism, cerebral palsy, prematurity, Downs syndrome, ADHD, Fragile X, spina bifida, seizure disorders and sensory integration dysfunction. Pediatric Advanced Therapy (PAT), formerly Integrative Therapy Concepts, has provided pediatric occupational, speech and physical therapy in our community since 1999. Our therapists guide and assist children to function optimally in their major roles (known as occupations) in life. A child’s primary occupation may include play, self-care, and school related activities. The skills necessary for successful, age appropriate functioning in these occupations include, but are not limited to: fine motor and gross motor coordination, sensory processing, visual perceptual and visual motor skills, attention (social, emotional), and daily living skills. Our clinic offers novel equipment, creative treatment space, unique environmental set-ups, and a dynamic staff, all of which allow us to meet the individual needs of each child through Therapy. Our lobby has seated the broken hearted, the financially burdened and those eager for information to help their child. Our dynamic staff gives them hope and strategies for success. We are committed to helping each child reach his or her full potential through direct treatment, education and community outreach. At PAT, we use a collaborative approach by working with the child’s parents, care givers, teacher, pediatricians and other medical professionals. We welcome any opportunity to share our knowledge and often do so by offering in-services to preschools, support groups, church daycares, and social service agencies. We are also active participants in fundraising and awareness organizations such as Autism Speaks. We have hosted several continuing education conferences that have brought participants from all over the world.
