Working with children is exciting, challenging and
enriching. Babies and children learn about themselves and their environment through
movement. Movement is vital for their physical and mental growth, general
health and overall well being. Physiotherapy is the best way to help babies and
children move to their best of their abilities.
Physiotherapists work certainly within the context
of the child and his family and have opportunity to work with the child in a
range of situations extending into home, pre-school groups, education and
leisure activities. Pediatric physiotherapists in Scarborough effectively and
efficiently have the clear understanding of the development process of the
childhood. Physiotherapists may work with other disciplines because of the
complex needs of the child and family. Their disciplines include medical,
nursing, social work, education and care staff, psychological and psychiatric
teams as well as speech and occupational therapists. Physiotherapists working
in such teams must be able to communicate his/her observations, assessments and
treatment plans to the child, his parents and other members of the team.
In order to help the child and family, Scarborough’s
physiotherapy clinics will-
-Spend some time with your child to assess your
child’s emerging skills.
-Provide suggestions in discussion with you.
-Discuss with you your ongoing concerns on a regular
basis.
