Connect Pediatric Therapy Celebrates Two Years, Announces New Clinic Opening in Fall
Connect Pediatric Therapy (www.connectpediatrictherapy.com) is thrilled to celebrate two years of serving children and families in Lincoln and the surrounding areas. In addition, Connect Pediatric Therapy looks forward to joining the Village Gardens Community when their new clinic is completed later this fall. They will also be adding physical therapy and speech therapy to the services that will be offered.
Occupational therapist, Dr. Kristen Pfeil, founded Connect Pediatric Therapy in 2019. She saw a unique need to serve children differently from the traditional clinic based models she had been part of for the last 16 years. Instead of therapy services being confined to a clinic, Dr. Pfeil designed a community-based practice. Children can receive therapy services in their home, the Connect clinic, or somewhere in the community. Instead of staying in a waiting room, parents and caregivers are encouraged to be an active part of all treatment sessions.
Another aspect that sets Connect Pediatric Therapy apart besides their service delivery model is their intensive model of therapy. With traditional models of therapy a child is seen once per week. An intensive model allows a child to work with their therapist multiple times per week. With an intensive model, the momentum of progress occurs much quicker. Parents are equipped to make changes at home and families can get back to living, instead of spending months and even years on end attending therapy.
Connect Pediatric Therapy specializes in the treatment of children with sensory processing challenges which have resulted in feeding, movement, and behavioral difficulties. This summer, in addition to individual treatment sessions, they will also offer summer camps for handwriting, self regulation, and motor skills.
