Therapies (Pediatric Rehabilitation Services)

Welcome to WVCA’s Pediatric Rehabilitation Services

A Caring Approach to Enriching Young Lives…

Wyoming Valley Children’s Association’s team of therapists understands the challenges that families face when a child has a physical or developmental disability. Our expert team of occupational, physical, speech and music therapists provides support and guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Our pediatric therapists evaluate each child’s developmental needs, set appropriate goals, and create and individualized intervention plans to help children reach physical, cognitive, social, emotional and communicative milestones.

We stress parent/caregiver involvement, training and education for the entire family. We do this to increase a child’s potential for success.

Autism Spectrum Disorders
Developmental Delay
Speech and Language Delay
