The rehabilitation process will include outpatient-based physical therapy early intervention that helps the child learn the skills needed to live, learn, and work in their communities.
State and federal laws determine referral requirements and funding opportunities for children from birth to three years of age.
You can expect to see your child’s skills develop each month. Your doctor often refers to these skills as “developmental milestones.” Most parents get excited about major milestones such as when their child walks or says their first word. It is important to have an idea of when the milestones should be reached. If your child misses a milestone, you should tell your child’s doctor – it might indicate a problem. Your child needs doctors’ prescriptions to be seen by our physical therapist.
Why Early Intervention Is So Important
The first three years of life are a critical period for brain and motor development. During this time, children reach key milestones such as rolling over, crawling, walking, and using their first words. When a child struggles to meet these milestones, it may indicate an underlying issue that requires professional support.
Through our pediatric therapy services in Plymouth, Indiana, early intervention gives children the tools to:
- Strengthen motor skills and coordination
- Improve posture, balance, and muscle control
- Develop independence in movement and play
- Enhance their ability to interact with family and peers
- Build confidence in daily activities
By addressing delays early, children are more likely to overcome challenges and transition smoothly into preschool, school, and community activities.
