Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician When You Suspect a Developmental Delay - North Shore Pediatric Therapy

Pediatricians oftentimes only have fifteen to twenty minutes with a child and family during a wellness visit. Most of that time would be used to ensure the medical health of the child. It is imperative that time also be spent on ascertaining information regarding the social, emotional, and behavioral development of the child. I always recommend that parents bring with them a list of questions that they have regarding their child’s development.

Developing Hand-Eye Coordination - North Shore Pediatric Therapy

Hand-eye coordination is the synchronization of eye and hand movements. It involves proprioception (knowing where your body is in space) combined with processing visual input. Any task that requires the coordination of vision and hand movements involves hand-eye coordination. Examples of hand-eye coordination include grasping objects, catching and throwing a ball, playing an instrument while reading music, reading and writing, or playing a video game.

10 WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD UNWIND BEFORE BED - North Shore Pediatric Therapy

Is it hard to help your child “turn-off” her brain before bedtime? Does your child constantly get out of bed or struggle to fall asleep at night? Oftentimes, it is hard for a child to understand what her body is feeling and vocalize what she might need in order to feel more balanced and organized. Overall, children truly benefit from a daily bedtime routine that helps their bodies find a consistent sleep cycle.

Testimonials

Success looks different for every child... But we bet we have a story that matches your child's needs. Like James, who started with us as non-speaking and lacking the ability to initiate and maintain social interactions. Today, he can speak complete sentences, clearly state his needs, and navigate social interactions with his friends!

Our infant daughter was in physical therapy with Anna Zahn for about five months.  Anna was consistent, patient, and wonderful with our daughter.  Anna was also clear in her communications with us as parents which helped us understand our daughter's progress and needs, as well as how we could help our daughter at home.  While we are proud that our daughter graduated PT, we will miss Anna's warmth and kindness.

I love this place! Chista is an amazing person, so sweet and kind and very professional in her work. All staff are very kind with children. I feel happy to find this place for my daughter. Thank you!!!

Maria Di Rita

I cannot say enough nice things about the staff! My son worked with Khadija as his ABA therapist and is finishing up this week with his OT, Sabrina. They were really instrumental in helping us navigate a new diagnosis. Both were so easy to approach with questions. From Leeann at the front desk to the RBTs (Alex, Rabbia, Molly, and many others), we always felt so welcomed. It seems like the staff genuinely enjoy their jobs, consistently offering feedback and suggestions on how to help my son.
