Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapists work with children and their families to assist each child in reaching their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation in home, school, and community environments. Pediatric physical therapy helps children learn to successfully and independently perform gross motor skills (running, jumping, hopping) and functional mobility skills (crawling, walking, stair climbing).
Occupational Therapy
Pediatric occupational therapists help children gain independence and promote development of fine motor skills, sensory motor skills, and visual motor skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play, and community environments. In the pediatric setting, occupational therapists use their expertise to help children prepare for and perform important learning and developmental activities.
Speech Therapy
Pediatric speech therapists work with children who have difficulties with communication. The ultimate goal of speech therapy is to empower children to communicate functionally and effectively in various contexts, enabling them to participate fully in social, academic, and everyday activities. Speech therapists work closely with parents and caregivers to provide support and guidance for practicing skills outside of sessions.
Intensive Therapy
Our intensive therapy programs utilize techniques and equipment including: Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI), Therasuit, Theratogs, Universal Exercise Unit/Cage Therapy, Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), and PROMPT therapy. Intensive therapy programs promote and enhance neuroplasticity with individualized, intense strengthening and skill training based on a child’s needs, strengths, and weaknesses.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Big Leaps is a private physical, occupational, & speech therapy practice established by two therapists, Sneha Gosalia, a Physical Therapist, and Danielle McKay, an Occupational Therapist.
Our mission is to create a fun, supportive, and safe therapeutic environment by providing the highest quality of physical, occupational, and speech therapy services to help children reach their maximum potential for functional independence.
As medical professionals, we believe quality of care is most important and can be achieved by engaging and teaching families, so that therapy can be carried over in the home and community environment. Our love for this work and commitment to each child's development, coupled with the hands on approach we take is how we get a child to sit, crawl, walk, dress, or write their name for the first time.
