Types of Pediatric Rehabilitation at Cape Fear Valley Health

Physical therapy offers individualized play-based programs to enhance basic movement, balance and coordination skills while reducing the risk of injury, impairment, functional limitations and disabilities in children.

Occupational therapy focuses on improving a child's ability to participate in daily activities such as eating, dressing, drawing, playing and problem-solving by enhancing their sensory experience and muscle movements.

Speech-language therapy helps children with speech, language, hearing, voice and feeding issues.

Audiology assesses your child’s hearing levels. If needed, the audiologist will suggest ways to improve hearing and fit your child with a hearing aid to enhance their learning and social interactions.
