We begin by asking about your child’s pregnancy and birth history, medical background, milestones, daily routine, challenges, and goals. The therapist observes how your child moves during activities and completes clinical observations and a standardized pediatric test. We then review the results with you and discuss whether treatment is recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/16c5f34f-dcd1-42d5-9096-497c1cf11b34/unsplash-image-CcbnSarTldQ.jpg Services - Treatment We create a personalized treatment plan with clear, functional goals. Sessions are fun and engaging. Therapy can take place in your home, your yard, your child’s daycare, or a community playground. You will also receive a customized home exercise program. https://www.cta-pt.com/payment daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://www.cta-pt.com/milestones daily 0.75 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/805a7fca-37cf-4003-b3ab-ca7ece31db8a/unsplash-image-oko_4WnoM98.jpg Milestones Lift and turn his/her head when placed on the stomach When on his/her back, turn head to hear or see something Use purposeful movements, though they are large and jerky Bring hands to mouth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/1649625007555-QW655XF6BGLMST3BRPP5/unsplash-image-EScCHx_ZR8Y.jpg Milestones Actively move arm (reach and swipe) when sees an object of interest Grasp object voluntarily Play with own hands and feet Watch/play with hands/toys at midline Transfer toys from hand to hand When on stomach, lift head and chest with weight on hands Hold head upright and steady Roll from stomach to back and back to stomach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/1749513936286-EVRTDIA42YGP84HM0NIJ/unsplash-image-JPMhhUGHkDM.jpg Milestones Use index finger to poke Hold/play with an object in each hand Transfer objects from hand to hand Pivot on stomach Pull to hands and knees Sit without help and play with toys Begin to creep and crawl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/fe9fa508-93bc-4c77-8cea-0c4d8e11c0e6/baby+cruising.jpg Milestones Pull to stand and cruises along furniture Stands alone and takes several independent steps Move in and out of various positions to explore environment and get desired toys Maintain balance in sitting when throwing objects Clap hands Release objects into a container with a large opening Use thumb and pointer finger to pick up tiny objects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/1749231701890-B8BTMQOQIXC3GR3TCO3R/baby+walking Milestones Walk alone Begin to walk sideways and backward Come to standing without support Crawl up and down stairs Pick up small objects Stack one object on top of another Put objects in and dump them out of containers Pull apart objects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/fd05e94e-357b-425b-b530-2d6fc90009e8/unsplash-image-wtxcaDIdOCM.jpg Milestones Walk well, run, stop, step up, squat down, walk on tiptoes Walk up the stairs with an alternating foot pattern with one hand on rail Walk down the stairs with a same-step foot placement Jump two inches off ground or over a 2-inch hurdle Jump down from a 4-inch step Stand on one leg for 1-3 seconds Kick a ball 3-6 feet Throw a ball underhand Begin learning to catch a ball from a short distance Stack more than one object (blocks) String large beads Imitate drawing horizontal lines or circular scribble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/0fbda5f8-4436-47a7-923a-d050b1929954/unsplash-image-1UX0L0rmuss.jpg Milestones Can run around obstacles Can stand on one foot for 3-5 seconds Stand on tiptoes for 3-5 seconds Can walk in a line without stepping off Can hop on one foot Ride a tricycle Can jump forward, down, and over objects with feet together Catches a medium-sized ball Throw a ball overhand and underhand Can build a tower of 9 small cubes Copy drawing of a circle Imitate drawing a cross Cut paper in half https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/1649629873862-YZ4R4OZ5RWGOKYBSX5R3/unsplash-image-tvc5imO5pXk.jpg Milestones https://www.cta-pt.com/the-truth-about-bumbo-chairs daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61feefdf2399336b84bc7dbd/242b9268-2dfd-4a80-866b-e9613052cfd7/bumbo+2.png The Truth About Bumbo Chairs: Explained by a Pediatric Physical Therapist Bumbo Seat Today, probably every new parent and parent-to-be has heard about the Bumbo seat. I see a lot of those seats in the homes of my little patients. The Bumbo website claims their products are “all for the love of children”. The internet is full of information about whether it is beneficial for child development or if it’s actually the opposite.
