Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is designed to facilitate optimal gross motor skills. Kid Clan’s skilled physical therapists evaluate and treat children whose movement difficulties result in functional limitations. Our goal is to improve developmental skills, sensory processing and overall functioning. Areas targeted include:
- Gait and mobility
- Range of motion
- Strength
- Coordination
- Balance
- Endurance
- Postural control
- Sports
- Sports readiness
- Developmental milestones
In determining if a child can benefit from physical therapy services consider the following red flags:
- Delay in meeting expected developmental milestones
- Walking on the ball of their feet or other unusual walking patterns
- Difficulty keeping up with their peers during play
- Difficulty performing same gross motor tasks as their peers
- Frequently trip and fall when walking or running
- Complaints of pain during gross motor tasks
- Reduced gross motor functioning following recovery from injury
At Kid Clan, safety and fun are our top priorities. We do our utmost to ensure that physical therapy is provided in a structured environment that is both safe and exciting. Parents are involved in the therapeutic process, as well, to facilitate functional outcomes.

ABA Therapy
Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is an evidenced based intervention that is widely used in the treatment of children with autistic spectrum disorders. ABA is aimed at understanding childhood behavior and how it is affected by a child’s environment. At Kid Clan, ABA intervention is tailor-made for each child. Our skilled ABA therapists identify each child’s strengths, challenges and family situation and dynamics, to design a treatment plan specifically for them. A key aspect in successful ABA Therapy, is learning and skill practice throughout the day. Therefore, as part of the treatment plan, our creative therapists will structure the child’s day to provide frequent opportunities to acquire and practice the skill sets taught in therapy. Additionally we provide caregivers with training so they can further support successful learning outside of therapy. They are taught about many of the fundamental aspects of their child’s program, as well as how crucial it is to provide an abundance of positive reinforcement when valuable skills or socially appropriate behaviors are demonstrated. Although each child’s goal plan is unique to the person they are, the foundation is the same: positive social interaction, meaningful engagement and FUN! Effective ABA intervention can result in improved communication, social relationships, play skills, self care, motor development and academic skills.
