Our Commitment to You
The Best Treatment for Your Family
Progressive Pediatric Therapy offers a wide range of specialties and services, ensuring that all of your child’s needs are met.
Speech Therapy
We look at the quality of a child’s speech/language for example, their pronunciation and articulation, their ability to communicate their needs, their ability to chew and swallow food properly, and their families concerns. Speech Therapists are concerned with helping children reach their full developmental potential and realizing their full range of sounds and communication abilities to improve their quality of life.
Occupational Therapy
Our Pediatric Occupational Therapists work with families to assist children to learn functional skills. These include the ability to pay attention; remain calm; self-care skills, such feeding independence , brushing hair, brushing teeth, dressing, and bathing. Occupational therapists also work on development of eye-hand skills, oral skills for eating; coordination of the whole body during movement of their body during all daily activities and in all environments.
Physical Therapy
Our Pediatric Physical Therapists work with families to provide support in the areas of gross motor development, motor planning and visual motor skills. These may include improving and working with muscle tone, strength and development, range of movement, quality of movement, eye-hand coordination, attention to task and sensory integration. We see children from birth through adolescence with health problems related to injury, disease, or congenital conditions.

Our feeding therapy services can be provided virtually via teletherapy, which provides a unique view into mealtimes within a child’s natural setting, or through traditional direct contact sessions in any of our three Palm Beach County locations.

Testimonials
“Aidan really loves his PECS and always looks forward to using them. I was worried it would be hard for him to comprehend the different pictures and retain them all, but he took to them immediately and remembers their meaning better than I do! He loves having the power to pick something and attach it to his board and really thrives on the excited reinforcement I give him when he does a task correctly. We are so grateful for Miss Stephanie and the extra work she did to create the PECS board and all the pictures for us! Thank you!”
“Thank you very much to our therapists for their dedication and support during all this time that online therapy has been provided. Thanks to this, our son has managed to continue his development and improvement of language skills and we have noticed constant progress that is greatly attributed to the continuation of his therapies in a virtual way. His therapists have handled this teaching modality in the best way, thank you very much Manny & Gabby!”
