Helping Children Reach Milestones and Gain Confidence
Every child develops at their own pace, but when milestones like sitting, crawling, or walking seem delayed, it can leave you wondering if your child needs extra support.
At Infinity & Beyond Pediatric Therapy, we’re here to help your child grow, move, and thrive with confidence. Our pediatric occupational and physical therapists use play-based methods to strengthen foundational skills so your child can achieve their milestones with confidence.
What Are Developmental Delays?
A developmental delay means a child is taking longer than expected to reach certain milestones in one or more areas of growth. This can include movement, speech, problem-solving, or social interaction.
Some children may have mild delays that resolve with a little extra support, while others may need ongoing therapy to achieve their developmental milestones. Early identification and intervention can make a big difference and help your child develop these essential skills during their most formative years.
Common Signs of Developmental Delays
While every child’s path is unique, you may notice your child:
- Struggles with fine motor tasks such as grasping toys, drawing, or using utensils
- Shows delays in crawling, walking, or coordination
- Has trouble focusing or following simple directions
- Struggles with daily routines like dressing or brushing teeth
- Avoids play or has difficulty interacting with peers
- Appears clumsy or unsure of movement
- Has challenges regulating their emotions or adapting to change
What Causes Developmental Delays?
Developmental delays can have many causes, including premature birth, genetic factors, or differences in brain or muscle development. Sometimes, the cause isn’t clear. What matters most is recognizing delays early and providing the right therapeutic support.
With the help of our skilled pediatric therapists, many children with developmental delays make remarkable progress and gain the skills they need to succeed at home, in school, and in the community.
How Occupational Therapy Can Help with Developmental Delays
Occupational therapy focuses on helping children master the foundational skills they need to independently handle daily activities. At Infinity & Beyond, we tailor each session to your child’s unique needs, and we use evidence-based techniques such as:
- Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) to support reflex development, coordination, and body awareness.
- Sensory Integration and Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) to promote smoother movement, posture, and attention.
- Play-based therapy that makes learning fun and motivates children to progress through games and creative challenges.
We also collaborate closely with families by giving you simple ways to reinforce your child’s progress at home and support their development between sessions.
How Physical Therapy Can Help with Developmental Delays
Physical therapy focuses on helping children build the strength, balance, and coordination skills they need to move and play with confidence. At Infinity & Beyond, we customize your child’s therapy plan to meet their specific needs. We use proven, fun techniques to help, such as:
Total Motion Release (TMR) to improve body alignment, reduce discomfort, and support smoother movement.
Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) to help stimulate motor development and support kids in developing new movement patterns.
We also partner closely with parents so you know exactly how to support your child’s physical movement and play at home.
