Front Range Pediatric Therapies has been serving the Colorado Springs area with high quality speech-language services in the home and community for a number of years. We have expanded our practice over the past year to include skilled occupational therapy to better serve our families. This allows for improved coordination of care between your child’s providers and physician. Please contact us to discuss services or scheduling an evaluation. Occupational Therapy is the practice of improving skills; such as gross motor, fine motor, and visual motor skills, to teach greater independence across a variety of occupational performance areas. Pediatric occupational therapists use preferred activities and play-based techniques to motivate children to engage in challenging activities, complete strengthening exercises, and teach self-regulation techniques.
