Playground skills group
June 3 - August 12
Our Playground Skills Group is designed for children ages 6-9 years of age to gain skills necessary to improve playground navigation skills including balance, coordination, and body awareness. This group will provide opportunities for children to play in a peer group guided by skilled physical therapists.
Every Step is a Leap Forward

What to expect
During each session, every child will receive skilled physical therapy services addressing their strengths and weaknesses. Two physical therapists will direct each session containing a maximum of five participating children.
A group setting provides children with the opportunity to generalize skills learned in individual therapy and practice skills in a social setting. This different type of therapy provides a new and motivating option for therapy services for both children and parents
