Pediatric Potentials can help you be creative in ways to engage your child in order to complete everyday tasks.

True client-driven service takes creative, playful thinking. Creative engagement can include:

  • Playing a dressing game to choose and put on appropriate clothes.
  • Role playing in a pretend restaurant followed with a real trip to a restaurant or nearby café.
  • Food preparation: Choose a recipe, make a shopping list, go to the store, buy food, and return to the clinic to cook it. 
  • Creating and using an obstacle course with a puzzle on one end and the puzzle pieces on the other.

Pediatric Potentials can help you find relevant resources within the community to enhance your child’s independence. 

A child benefits the most when therapy ideas are carried out in the home and community environments in addition to the clinic. Family education is a key element of treatment at Pediatric Potentials. Resources can include:

  • Information about specific equipment to use in the home environment.   
  • Information about extra curricular activities such as: rock climbing, gymnastics, martial arts, swimming lessons, adaptive outdoor recreation activities, social skills groups, or music therapy.
  • Information about community support organizations that support families and children with disabilities, ABA Services,  and special education services in the school system.
  • Ways to best utilize city services such as the library and the bus system.

Pediatric Potentials can help you create and be a part of a comprehensive team to work with your child.
