Physical Therapy (PT)
The Physical Therapy department is a vital part of the rehabilitation team at Little Angels Center. The therapists, in conjunction with the families, work together to maximize the child’s function. The therapists establish goals and treatment strategies to improve the child’s functional status. We assess the child’s strength, flexibility, posture, gait, balance, coordination, and overall gross motor development to allow them to safely access their environment.
The physical therapy staff provides individual and group therapy services across a variety of environments to include home-based, center-based, school-based and office-based services.
