Services
Therapy Services
At the Schreiber Center, we offer a comprehensive range of therapy services tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Our approach is holistic, integrating physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy to support the developmental growth of every child we serve.
Occupational Therapy
Children’s independence begins with mastering the small things. Our occupational therapy services help children develop the skills they need to navigate daily life, whether it’s learning to hold a pencil, button a shirt, or manage sensory challenges. By focusing on what matters most to each child, we help them build confidence and achieve milestones that foster independence.
Physical Therapy
Movement is fundamental to a child’s exploration and growth. Our physical therapy services are designed to support your child’s mobility, balance, and strength. Through personalized exercises and activities, we help children overcome physical challenges, enabling them to participate fully in play, school, and life’s adventures.
Speech-Language Therapy
Communication is key to every child’s development. Our speech-language therapy services focus on improving speech, language, and communication skills, empowering children to express themselves and connect with others.
