Did You Know?
Nearly 25 percent of children will have an eating problem at some point in their lives. |

Occupational Therapy
Thousands of patients just like Adam, are helped by MCTC occupational therapists (OTs) to help get them back to the “occupation” of living. OTs work with your child to help improve hand/eye coordination, eating function and sensory process development through individual and group sessions.
Physical Therapy
Many kids just like Alex, learn to crawl, walk, run, jump and play – to just be kids – with the help of physical therapists (PTs). Whether it’s treating cerebral palsy, spina bifida or developmental delay, PTs work with children and their caregivers to help provide consistent care, while promoting a child’s independence at school, home and in the community.
Speech Therapy
We all know that children need to speak their minds! And that they need to be able to communicate with the world around them to keep learning and growing. Speech therapists help kids with their language development, eating, speech, hearing and fluency so that they can more easily relate to the people and the world around them.
There’s more to Memorial’s Children’s Therapy Center than our on-site programs at 100 Navarre Place and within Memorial Children’s Hospital. Children’s Therapy staff members also provide world-class care to kids throughout the community. By working with local schools and other community organizations, MCTC reaches thousands of children in a variety of settings, to offer improved independence and a better quality of life.
“I feel that the quality and expertise of my children’s therapists enhances the treatment they receive. The therapists are caring, professional, and each one has specialized treatment skills.
I appreciate the individual attention they give
to each one of my children.” — Vicki Witmer |
