CHILD SERVICES
Childhood development is complex and filled with the need to reach social and physical milestones, overcome obstacles, and build skills for future independence. Our child services team specializes in creating individualized programs to guide the various areas of development for children (ages birth to 12) and families throughout each stage of life.
Our comprehensive, fun, and positive approach will supplement school-based and early childhood therapy programs in the areas of physical therapy, recreation therapy, and education about making healthy choices.

RECREATION THERAPY FOR KIDS
Since children rarely sit still, recreation therapy can be a great option to learn the integration of play, movement, and social skills in an active way. Offered in 1:1 and group options, our certified therapeutic recreation specialists work with children on adaptive athletics that are developed in conjunction with their parents/caregivers and physical therapists.
Our sessions take place in an inclusive, safe, and sensory-friendly environment. Recreation therapy can successfully help children develop social skills, overcome anxiety, and build skills to continue gaining independence as they age.
PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY
The goal of skilled physical therapy is to enable children to be able to participate in age-appropriate activities and reach their maximum potential. Physical therapy can directly address a variety of goals for children to be successful at home, in the classroom, and in the community.
Although each child's needs are unique, physical therapy at EA will entail one-to-one care to improve balance, mobility, endurance, strength, coordination, posture, and more.
At EA, children will build skills and abilities to achieve milestones such as crawling, walking, socially interacting, and being physically active.
HEALTHY CHOICES FOR KIDS
Learning and practicing making choices for lifelong health requires a commitment, and we're here to set the whole family up for success with guidance for obesity reduction and prevention.
Through our KidShape program, we intertwine guidance for healthy eating into each therapy plan. You will learn how to work with your child to make healthy choices, recognize unhealthy habits, decrease emotional eating, and improve your overall family health. In addition to feeling better and having more energy, you may notice reduced stress, increased self-esteem, and an overall behavior change.
YOUTH CLASSES & CAMPS
Three times each year, we release a new lineup of fun, educational, and useful classes and camps for children living with neurodiversity, physical neurological conditions, or obesity. Each option is excellent for the development of social skills, physical abilities, and emotional well-being.
You'll find a variety of small group options offered for various ages, abilities, and skill levels. Each class or camp is led by professional staff and assisted by trained volunteers. Peruse the catalog below and sign up online.
