What We Offer

Our Support
Let us know how we can be a part of your child’s world with our wonderful, varied programs and therapeutic support including:
Occupational Therapy
Empower your child to develop essential life skills through personalized, play-based occupational therapy sessions.
Physical Therapy
Enhance your child’s strength, coordination, and mobility with tailored physical therapy programs for lasting progress.
Speech & Language Therapy
Improve communication and language skills with engaging speech and language therapy designed for individual success.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on enabling children to do the activities of daily life. A child has the “occupation” of learning. Our treatments are designed to improve cognitive, visual-perceptual, self-help, adaptive behavior, and fine motor skills. Occupational therapists at Abbott & Burkhart Therapy address specialized needs such as sensory processing disorders, developmental delays, autism, and behavioral disorders.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy prevents or alleviates movement dysfunction through a program tailored to the individual child. The goal of the individualized program may be to develop muscle strength, range of motion, coordination, endurance, alleviate pain, or to attain new motor skills.
Speech and Language Therapy
Language is essential to communication and learning. Language incorporates social rules that include what words mean, and how to put words together in different word combinations to communicate not only an idea but the force behind an idea. (“Could you please open a window?”, “Open that window NOW!!”.)
Learn More
It also includes how a person understands the words, sentences, and conversations that they hear. Speech includes how a person uses the muscles of the mouth and the muscles of breathing to form sounds; how a person uses the vocal folds in conjunction with breathing to produce a sound, as well as the rhythm, or fluency, of speech sounds. Difficulties with language can occur in isolation or can occur in conjunction with speech difficulties. An evaluation by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) at Abbott & Burkhart Therapy can provide strategies and solutions for resolving communication difficulties.
Early Intervention
Early intervention supports the child’s physical development by reinforcing home exercise programs taught by the therapist. An early interventionist addresses play skills, pragmatic skills, and global developmental skills, acting as a support system to the parents.
Feeding and Swallowing
Abbott & Burkhart Therapy offers comprehensive, family-centered treatment for children with feeding and swallowing difficulties, addressing concerns that may impact the child’s growth and development. Our therapeutic philosophy consists of a multidisciplinary approach facilitated by both an Occupational Therapist and a Speech and Language Pathologist.

This combination of supportive therapies incorporates the child’s medical, developmental, behavioral, sensory as well as oral motor feeding issues.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment to measure the needs of the client before establishing a treatment plan. We use this information to develop an individualized treatment program appropriate for a wide range of challenges related to feeding and swallowing difficulties, depending on the specific needs of the child.
