Children Physical Therapy for Neurodivergent
Empowering Movement.Enabling Independence.
At Holding Hope Centre for Speech & Hearing, our Physical Therapy program is designed to help neurodivergent children explore, understand, and use their bodies in a way that supports their daily functioning and boosts their confidence.
We specialize in working with children with:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Down Syndrome
Global Developmental Delay (GDD)
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
What We Focus On
Our therapy integrates physical rehabilitation with sensory integration, helping children:
Improve gross motor skills like walking, running & balance
Develop coordination & body awareness
Build muscle strength & endurance
Learn postural control & joint alignment
Manage sensory challenges like touch, movement & sound sensitivities
Participate more fully in school, play & daily routines
Sensory-Integrated Physical Therapy
We recognize that many neurodivergent children experience the world differently. That’s why our physical therapy sessions blend movement-based exercises with sensory integration techniques, such as:
- Swinging, bouncing, crawling, and climbing
- Obstacle courses designed to build strength and attention
- Activities to calm or alert the nervous system
- Equipment like therapy balls, balance beams, and weighted tools
This approach helps children regulate their sensory input while building motor skills—leading to better participation and confidence in their environment
Real-Life Movement in Real Spaces
Our therapy also extends beyond the clinic. Children participate in real-world movement activities like:
- Walking up/down stairs at parks or community spaces
- Pushing grocery carts at stores
- Navigating play zones, ramps, and uneven surfaces
- Participating in group games and movement-based classroom tasks
Our Physical Therapy Services Include
Detailed movement assessments
Customized one-on-one therapy sessions
Home programs for consistency and carryover
Collaborative care with occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists
Parent/caregiver guidance to support movement in daily life
