School based PT and OT services 

Pediatric Therapy Assoc., Inc. has been a provider of quality physical therapy and occupational therapy services for more than 20 years. We currently contract to provide PT and or OT services to 10 school systems. Although many of these systems are in the Greater Birmingham area, we do work with many rural school programs. In these settings our therapists provide PT/OT to students who meet the special education and 504 guidelines for service. Our staff assesses students, develops goals and program plans with the teachers and school staff, and provides both direct and consultative therapy service to the student, school staff and family. The providers of service with whom we frequently consult include Children’s Rehabilitation Service, Children’s Hospital, Early Intervention Programs, physicians and therapists as well as vendors for adaptive equipment, wheelchairs and orthotics. The students we serve in these schools often come to us for outpatient services. Our staff members are knowledgeable about national and state guidelines concerning the provision of school-based therapy services and they stay current through regular updates on all related issues.

Early Intervention Services

Pediatric Therapy Assoc, Inc. has provided quality PT and/or OT to children and families/caretakers through early intervention programs for over 15 years. Through early intervention programs, we work closely with families and caretakers to assist in meeting their child’s developmental needs in the home and community. We also work closely with community contacts to assist with the children's educational transitions. Our staff stays current with trends, state laws, and guidelines in order to provide the most effective intervention strategies available to infants and toddlers.

Through our outpatient services, we also provide additional direct therapy services to infants and toddlers. Our highly skilled and trained staff serves children in our office, conveniently located in Hoover, Alabama, off Tyler Road. Some of the infants we serve have had diagnoses of torticollis, club foot, Erb’s palsy, developmental delay, spina bifida and cerebral palsy.
