Curious about your Child's Development?
2020 has been tough! Life as we knew it took a hard left back in March, and none of us can foresee what we'll find in our new normal. Here at Chatterbox Pediatric Therapy and Learning Academy we want to support parents, like yourself, through the strange in-between of remote school, virtual health visits and work from home.
Perhaps, now that your child is with you more, you may see new behaviors that give you concern or have new insight on behavioral triggers/stressors as you've spent more time with each other. You may see your child in a different light, now that she is learning from you or depending on you solely for academic growth and stimulation.
If you have concerns about your child’s development such as…
Is my child talking on time or appropriately?
Are their feeding behaviors normal?
Are my child’s fine/gross motor skills delayed?
Why is she having meltdowns or difficulty with transitions?
Why can't he do what his peers are doing?
One can start by visiting the Chatterbox development page by age reference. Here, you can check milestones and red flags for your child's age, and also request to chat with a therapist for free to discuss your concerns!
If your child could benefit from services, we will conduct an evaluation to provide you with the answers you're looking for. An evaluation with a therapist is a thorough, in person assessment of children’s strengths and possible weaknesses, and informs them and you as to whether they would benefit from specialized intervention to reach their full potential.
Before children can be enrolled in therapy they need to establish care with a primary care provider in a medical home. Chatterbox collaborates with a vast number of primary care providers and clinics across the Treasure Valley. If you have a great relationship with your child’s primary care provider, chances are we already have a working partnership. However, if you are looking for a primary care provider, we are happy to suggest Doctors Taylor and Smith and Nurse Practitioner Bryana Hinck at Thrive Pediatrics. The providers at Thrive are trained and ready to provide just what you need, where they are caring for Idaho’s future, today. Thrive Pediatrics’ purpose is to inspire children and those caring for them to thrive. The people at Thrive do this while providing simple, clean and fun pediatric care.
