TLC PEDIATRIC THERAPY is proud of the physical environments which continue to evolve, in order to deliver both current and modern patient care approaches and techniques. The physical spaces at TLC Pediatric Therapy are professionally designed, modern and nature inspired - and based on feedback and observations of how providers best work and move through the treatment areas with patients and families. The two wings at the flagship center, for example, include a primary wing of 7 private treatment spaces, and a secondary wing, named “The Grand Park”, that is a field of spaces with a variety of stations and functions that allow children to move freely throughout in order to encourage movement in play, social pragmatic skills, and learn from the environment around them and their social peers/pediatric patients that may be exploring adjacent. The newer wing, “The Grand Park”, is a learning and therapeutic landscape designed to encourage peer to peer interactions by emphasizing soft divider communal areas of therapeutic equipment of swings, trampolines, slides, and more, which support creativity and togetherness. As a Principal Occupational Therapist, you would have an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing design and equipment decisions in an effort to stay ahead of the curve in novel treatment approaches and techniques.
