At Cutting Edge Pediatric Therapy we have a wide range of techniques and therapies we use to help children with calming and managing their bodies. 

 

One technique that we love to use is called craniosacral therapy. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle approach to release tension and anxiety in the body. With this therapy we use a very soft touch, and the children find it very relaxing. 

 

We find that often times our children have a lot of anxiety and tension in their body due to their different issues — developmental issues, sensory issues, etc. Because of these extra challenges in their lives they tend to hold on to a lot of tension. 

 

To help with this, after the children have had a nice workout here we can bring them into the cranio room where they can start to release that tension and anxiety. In the cranio room we use aromatherapy, listening therapy, and then we do craniosacral therapy in order to help calm and release tension in the body. The result is a calmer, less anxious child!

 

To learn more about craniosacral therapies and the other therapies and services we offer, see our website http://www.cuttingedgepediatrictherapy.com

A large part of the intervention that we do here is auditory processing. Many of our children have trouble processing the information they hear, because their brains interpret the meanings of the sounds differently. We help the kids practice getting their ears and their brains in sync.

 

In our practice we use The Listening Program SPECTRUM, and In Time. We use SPECTRUM here in the clinic as a way to help the children calm and regulate their bodies so that they can be ready for therapy.  SPECTRUM has instrumental music the children listen to which helps them to relax. At the same time, the music helps to exercise the brain. 

 

We also use inTime during the therapy session. This also helps the children to regulate their systems, but it also helps with learning how to do sequencing and timing. inTime provides rhythm-based training that targets different areas of the brain. This is a lot of fun, as the children get to practice listening while moving their bodies or using a drum to keep a beat. The activities help with auditory processing, executive function, motor coordination, stress response, and more. 

 

These technologies are all in keeping with our motto of being very cutting edge and innovative in everything that we do to help our children! We also have these programs available to parents, so they can use them at home.

At Cutting Edge Pediatric Therapy we offer therapies to help your child achieve the greatest level of physical, cognitive and emotional functioning possible. We help build their nervous systems up so that they can function at their best and highest level. But we don't stop there — we also have therapies that include helping them learn how to do many of the practical skills they’ll need to take care of themselves in the home and out in the world. But did you know we use a kitchen and laundry area to do some of these things?

 

Here are three ways we use our kitchen to help clients:

 

1. Preparing food — This kitchen gives our children the opportunity to learn and practice life skills. Our older kids will come into our client kitchen and make, for instance, sandwiches. Making food helps them practice life and job skills in a meaningful way that will help them become more independent. 

 

2. Laundry — Our kids have come here and learned how wash and fold laundry. Like food preparation, being able to wash and take care of clothes will help them to become more independent in caring for themselves.

 

3. Motor skills and problem solving — Kids might come into our kitchen and learn a skill like pouring water from a pitcher into different cups, making sure it's all even. Pouring water lets them practice a physical skill, while figuring out how to get all the water in the cups even helps them practice solving a problem that has some meaning to them. 

 

These are all important life skills that they can learn to not only take care of themselves, but to function in a working environment. Many of these skills can translate into job skills and can help the child become more independent. They learn “the job of living” when they practice these developmentally appropriate skills, and they get a great sense of accomplishment from doing them!

 

Our goal is to make sure what we do is helping them to be functional, as well as strengthening their nervous system.

In keeping with our motto of continually striving to provide our clients with the most innovative and cutting edge treatment, one of the options we offer is the Interactive Metronome (TM). 

 

The Interactive Metronome (TM) is a computer program that has a metronome, or a steady beat. Depending on skill level and individual goals, children perform gross or fine motor activities, or even cognitive activities, while keeping in time with the beat.  This kind of rhythmic action promotes sequencing and timing, and brain organization. It helps both sides of the brain to talk to each other, which is beneficial in many areas such as schoolwork, focal and divided attention, and gross and fine motor skills. 

 

This is just one of the many ways we help your child’s brain learn to operate at its fullest potential.
