The MISSION of our evidence-based practice is to facilitate the attainment of individual and family goals through the utilization of highly skilled and compassionate licensed therapists.Littlefield Physical Therapy, Inc. offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language services. Pediatric physical therapists are rehabilitation professionals trained in the sensory and motor aspects of normal development and are qualified to evaluate and treat the special needs of infants and children. Physical therapists help the child to improve their ability to move, function and play in efficient and variable ways. Our physical therapists collaborate with parents, physicians, and other care providers to establish the child's individual physical therapy goals and treatment plan. A child's "occupations" include playing, self-care, and learning. Our occupational therapists can evaluate a child's skills in activities of daily living (feeding, dressing, grooming), fine motor skills (including handwriting), concentration and memory skills, or sensory processing and compare them to what is developmentally appropriate for their age group. Occupational therapy uses purposeful activities to minimize the effects of diseases, injury, congenital deficit, disability, or developmental delay. At Littlefield, therapy is designed to feel like play.Our speech therapists help children with their communications skills to specifically address articulation and apraxia issues, receptive and expressive language delays and/or use of augmentative communication. Our primary goal is to help children communicate, develop interpersonal communication skills and to enjoy the process of developing these skills as they grow. An important part of intervention includes teaching parents and caregivers skills to stimulate their child's communication skills.
