Joyful Motion is a small, privately owned pediatric therapy clinic, providing Occupational, Physical and Speech-Language Therapy services located near downtown Palm Harbor, FL.  We provide skilled therapy services in a safe, welcoming environment for infants and children with special needs and their families. All of the pediatric therapists and staff members have extensive experience working with the pediatric population, are dedicated to their profession and truly love helping children.  The therapists utilize a combination of proven interventions geared towards each individual child. In addition, all of our therapists have received extra training and certifications to provide a variety of specialty programs and modalities.  We utilize individual evaluations and hand-tailored treatment approaches for each child.   

One of the things that makes Joyful Motion stand apart from other therapy clinics is our implementation of sensory integration, along with our dedication to providing a transdisciplinary approach. Our facility is uniquely designed as an open gym area, with state of the art sensory equipment. The large, open area is used by many children at once in order to simulate a more functional environment, such as a classroom, when addressing skills. We also have individual rooms available for therapy when needed. Most importantly, the therapists utilize a transdisciplinary approach by discussing all of their patients with other treating therapists in order to implement skills being worked on by all disciplines in every session.  We are committed to providing outstanding care for children in coordination with other primary care and specialty care providers, schools, daycare centers and community service agencies.

    Experience

    I have been assisting children and families struggling with speech, language, and feeding concerns for the past twenty plus years and have worked at Joyful Motion Pediatric Therapy Center for the past nine.  At Joyful Motion Pediatric Therapy Center, I am able to utilize sensory integration with speech, language, and/or feeding therapy.  Now as a Tomatis practioner, I am able to incorporate the use of Tomatis in speech, and language therapy sessions.  My hope is to continue to assist children struggling with emotional regulation, speech/language and/or learning disabilities to excel through the Tomatis technique by increasing attention and reducing distractibility.  Due to my own personal struggles with a diagnosis of Dyslexia at the age of six, I feel I am able to provide empathetic treatment.
