Parent and child engaged together during a pediatric therapy session

What Do We Want You to Do?

You are a vital part of your child's therapy team. Here's how to make the most of every session — and what to expect when you arrive.

What We Expect of You

At Leading Edge Pediatric Therapy, we provide patients with the best therapy available. We believe in understanding the nature of each child's functional movement difficulty through a personalized assessment.

You are a big part of your child's team, and we depend on you to carry over your child's program through play and daily activities at home. The work you do between sessions is just as important as what happens in the clinic.

Your Rights & Responsibilities

To accomplish this, you as a parent or caregiver need to be able to focus on — and actively participate in — your child's therapy. Your attention and engagement during sessions helps you understand the program and carry it home effectively.

Sometimes you may choose to involve siblings, which can be beneficial if they are able to follow directions and help when invited to do so. Otherwise, siblings should bring something to keep themselves occupied, as your focus will be on your child's therapy during this time. Alternatively, this may be a good time for siblings to stay home or visit a friend.

Come Prepared

We want your child to be comfortable during their session. Please bring any personal items they may need — diapers, bottles or cups, and something to drink, as your child will likely become thirsty during therapy.

We have plenty of toys, but if there is that one special toy that always makes things better or motivates your child to move, please bring it along. Familiar comfort items can make a real difference in how engaged and cooperative your child is.

Finally, please know that we encourage lots of hug breaks as needed — to keep everyone energized, happy, and working hard.
