Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need a referral for physical therapy?
While some insurance plans require a physician's referral, many states allow direct access to physical therapy services. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and can help you navigate the referral process if needed. Our team is happy to work with your child's pediatrician or other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.
What age is appropriate to begin PT for autism?
Physical therapy can benefit children with autism at any age, but early intervention is often most effective. We commonly work with children as young as 18 months through adolescence. The earlier we can address motor delays and movement challenges, the better we can support your child's overall development and participation in daily activities.
How is physical therapy different from occupational therapy?
While both therapies address movement and function, physical therapy focuses primarily on gross motor skills, strength, balance, and mobility. Occupational therapy typically addresses fine motor skills, daily living activities, and sensory processing. Many children benefit from both services, and we often collaborate with occupational therapists to provide comprehensive care for your child.
