Licensed Therapists Our licensed therapists may provide Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy services to your child during their Little Lukes preschool day, as outlined in the IEP.  Speech Therapy Speech therapy assists preschool students who have difficulties with communication skills. For example: oral motor strength and coordination, sound production skills, building vocabulary, communicating effectively and understanding language concepts. Physical Therapy Physical therapy for preschool students focuses on enhancing strength, balance and coordination to improve movement skills. For example: moving around home or school, playing at the park, safely going up and down stairs, maintaining balance in crowded situations, motor skills involved in playing games.

Therapy Room
Our in-house team of therapists may work with your child individually or in small groups.  The therapy sessions may occur within your child’s classroom or in the Little Lukes therapy room. 

Therapy Co-treatments
Therapy co-treatments allow two therapists to work together across disciplines with your child.  Your child benefits when therapists incorporate skills from one field into the session with another. 

Working Together
For example, alternating between a speech therapy skill and a physical therapy skill in one activity can motivate your child and keep the session interesting and fun.  Occupational therapy can help your child organize and focus on activities and goals from another therapy. 

Reaching Goals
The therapists can work on carryover of skills and then coordinate efforts to help your child reach goals.
