PEDIATRIC THERAPY SERVICES
Developmental & Behavioral Services
Our patient-oriented culture supports our efforts to provide reliable professional assistance for all of your therapy needs.
Service Coordination
Medical management is an essential part of how Restore Healthcare manages your medical service needs. Our case management and administrative staff are highly trained and qualified to provide our clients with services that can minimize costs.
Case Management
Case management services helps patients handle aspects of their lives that might impact whether the patient remains in treatment or has successful treatment outcomes. These services provide assessment, planning, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of options and resources to meet an individual's specific needs. Some examples of case management services might be:
assistance with health needs
assistance with physician appointments
assistance with transportation
assistance with child care
assistance with family situations, living conditions, school or work
Early Intervention Management
Early Interventionist will assists families with receiving the services and support needed and to ensure that the family's and child's rights are protected. The service coordination is a process, which continues throughout the time the child is receiving Early Intervention services.
What is early intervention? Early intervention refers to therapeutic, educational and medical services provided to children from birth to 3 years of age. Early intervention is intended for children who are identified as having or being at-risk of developing a disability. Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, is the Federal law that provides funding for states to offer services for early intervention.
Autistic Services
Quality Care
It is very important to remember that one method or intervention may not work for every child. Remember that your child is unique, and we work with his or her strengths to help him or her in the best way possible. Treatment of autism can help your child navigate through social challenges, capitalize on his or her strengths and be successful.
Before we get into the types of therapies available, it is helpful to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Although research and experience have revealed many of the mysteries surrounding autism, it remains a complex disorder that impacts each child differently. However, many children with autism have made remarkable breakthroughs with the right combinations of therapies and interventions.
Restore Healthcare Pediatric Therapists are developmental and behavioral specialists. We partner with you as part of the treatment process, implement an effective techniques and tools that build on the child’s interests and their individual plan of care, and promote self-esteem solutions.
