Somatic symptom disorders are a group of disorders, all of which fit the definition of physical symptoms similar to those observed in physical disease or injury for which there is no identifiable physical cause. As such, they are a diagnosis of exclusion.
Occupational therapists use special equipment to help children with developmental disabilities. Occupational therapists treat injured, ill, or disabled patients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working.
Our pediatric physical and occupational therapists at Advanced Physical Therapy work with children from birth to adolescence with a variety of conditions and diagnoses. Our physical therapists have years of experience working with children. They address large motor skills such as rolling, crawling, sitting and walking.
