Dr. Pinocchio & Friends Pediatric Wellness Center
Our Approach
Here at the Center we utilize a family-centered approach to therapy - acknowledging that parents are at the forefront of a child's development, learning, and growth. Parent coaching and education is present within each therapy session to assure carryover of treatment in to the home setting to result in progress and therapeutic success.
​
We are passionate about wellness and prevention and providing families with the knowledge to not only support development, but enhance each developmental area - gross motor, fine motor, social-emotional, sensory processing, speech and language, social communication, visual motor integration, and more. Children do not come with a handbook and we are here to help!
​
The team at Dr. Pinocchio Pediatric Wellness Center prioritizes continuing education and certification within each discipline. We feel strongly that the providers you are seeking for help with your child should be specialized and of high quality.
