evaluations and individualized treatment plans to children of all abilities
and diagnoses. Our therapists utilize advanced rehab technology to help
children make more progress in reaching their goals.
Sustaining Pediatric Services: Your Support
AllOne Foundation & Charities is committed to improving access to health
care for the under-insured and uninsured and improving children’s
health and well-being. Starting in 2023, their partnership with Allied
Services supports the sustainability of specialized pediatric services
at Allied Services.
Each child’s therapy team will develop a personalized treatment plan,
using the latest rehabilitation technology and state-of-the-art equipment.
Treatments include:
Adapted Seating
Pediatric patients with special needs require specialized wheelchairs that
provide upper body support, lower body support, mobility, and positioning.
Allied Services therapists assess for the appropriate custom seating which
provides optimum positioning to improve function.
Aquatic Therapy
Exercising in the water (aquatic therapy) provides many benefits that exercising on land does not offer. The buoyancy
of the water provides a therapeutic environment for the weight-bearing
joints of the spine, knee, and hips. This is helpful for children who
cannot tolerate exercising on land due to joint pain or can benefit from
the support water provides to make moving easier.
Augmentative Communication Device
The device can be a permanent addition to a child’s life in order
to supplement or provide a means of communication for children who are
severely speech and language impaired or nonverbal.
Feeding Therapy
Some children with developmental disabilities have difficulty with eating
as a result of a disruption in the swallowing process. This is a
swallowing disorder known as dysphagia. Pediatric speech therapists have advanced training
in the identification and treatment of these disorders.
The Picky Eaters Program
Occupational and speech therapists with advanced training address sensory
oral motor and behavioral issues that often result in picky eating limited diets.
Handwriting Without Tears
A multi-sensory and developmentally based program for teaching printing
and cursive writing. The activities are developed to address each child’s
style, including visual, auditory, movement, and touch.
Power Mobility
For young children who are not able to walk power mobility affords opportunities
to engage in more independent exploration of their environment. The staff
evaluates the child and their function to determine if the use of power
mobility is appropriate. If appropriate, therapists make recommendations
as to the type of equipment that best meets the child’s needs.
Sensory Motor Program
The sensory motor program is a whole brain learning approach that enhances
visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, and fine motor skills.
Social Skills Program
Children with autism spectrum disorder do not acquire basic social skills
such as sharing and maintaining eye contact through general experience
and observation. This often results in social avoidance, academic difficulties,
and problematic peer interactions. Allied Services’ pediatric therapists
help to facilitate social skills for success in their personal and academic lives.
Videofluoroscopy Swallowing Evaluations
A special X-Ray test accepted as the standard for detecting and evaluating
swallowing abnormalities. This method not only allows for the estimation
of children’s risk of aspiration and respiratory complications but
also helps in determining dietary and compensatory strategies.
Vision Therapy
Vision therapy focuses on improving binocular vision, oculomotor and visual motor skills
for increased success with activities of daily living including reading,
writing, and gross motor skills.
