PEDIATRICS

Pediatrics

• Don’t sit in a clinic.
• Don’t take off work.
• Don’t pay for a sitter.
• Don’t prepare for an outing.

Our therapists work with you and your child in their natural home environment, helping everyone in the home to work as a team and to maximize the child’s success in a way that is comfortable for them and convenient for you!

Standard outpatient physical therapy and occupational therapy requires clients to go to a standing clinic—we know how difficult this is for parents. That is why we developed our Pediatric Program at Outpatient Mobile Solutions. Our qualified therapists bring all the necessary tools of the clinic to your home, and provide quality outpatient therapy services covered under your insurance and without additional fees.

With the current COVID-19 risks, our therapists are taking additional measures to keep everyone safe and healthy. According to your insurance carrier, this could even mean virtual therapy sessions!
