Your child is safe here.

Parents often ask whether they should stay during therapy sessions. Our answer is always the same: the choice is yours. Some parents choose to stay, some choose to step out, and sometimes therapists and parents decide together that goals may be better met with or without a parent in the room.

What never changes is this: we will never turn a concerned parent away, and we will never blink twice at a parent who trusts us with their child while they run errands, focus on other kids, or simply take a breath. Loving your child also means knowing when they’re supported, cared for, and safe. Huge amounts of trust goes into pediatric therapy, and that’s something we take seriously every. single. session.

Overheard in Pediatric Speech Therapy: “I love how your tongue stayed right behind your teeth for that one.”

When kids are learning a new speech sound, it’s easy to think the answer is just more drilling – say it again, try it again, repeat it 10 more times. But RSI Pediatric Speech Therapists (SLPs) know that progress doesn’t come from repetition by itself. What really helps kids find success is the type of feedback they get combined with consistent practice.

When an SLP says, “That /f/ sounded really clear, you bit your lip just the right amount,” it’s not just a creative compliment. The specific feedback helps the child to notice the difference between when a sound feels right and when it doesn’t, and what to pay attention to on the next try.

Kids in articulation therapy won’t just hear “right” or “wrong” from their therapist, they’ll hear small, specific comments that connect to whatever skill they’re working on that day. Cont....

Meet Seth!
Profession: Physical Therapist
Location: Rigby Pediatric Clinic
Professional Bio: https://rehabspecialistsidaho.com/providers/
"Adult physical therapy is often about helping recover skills after an injury, surgery, or due to pain. Although pediatric physical therapy can address those same things, it mostly focuses on helping kids build skills as they grow: balance, coordination, and strength--usually through play. It’s a whole different approach with unique goals and tools (bikes, swings and rock walls). There’s never a dull moment when you’re a pediatric PT!" -Seth Buck, PT, DPT

To answer a common question: What even *is* Occupational Therapy!?

Occupational Therapy helps children and adults build the skills they need for everyday life.

For kids, that can mean support with fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, emotional regulation, and independence with school and daily routines.

For adults, Occupational Therapy can help with injury recovery, balance and fall prevention, recovery after surgery or illness, and maintaining independence at home and in the community.

We’re excited to now offer Occupational Therapy right here in West Yellowstone through Rehab Specialists of Idaho.

Local care, closer to home.

Para responder a una pregunta frecuente: ¿Qué es exactamente la terapia ocupacional?

La terapia ocupacional ayuda a niños y adultos a desarrollar las habilidades que necesitan para la vida diaria.

En el caso de los niños, puede brindar apoyo en el desarrollo de la motricidad fina y gruesa, el procesamiento sensorial, la coordinación, la regulación emocional y la independencia en la escuela y en las rutinas diarias.

En el caso de los adultos, la terapia ocupacional puede ayudar en la recuperación de lesiones, el equilibrio y la prevención de caídas, la recuperación después de una cirugía o enfermedad, y el mantenimiento de la independencia en el hogar y en la comunidad.

Nos complace ofrecer ahora servicios de terapia ocupacional aquí mismo en West Yellowstone a través de Rehab Specialists of Idaho.

Atención local, más cerca de casa.

Overheard in Pediatric Physical Therapy: How to know when and how to address toe-walking.

Toe-walking, or when a child walks only or mostly on their toes rather than using a heel-to-toe pattern, can become a painful and limiting habit. Although it’s common to see babies walk on their toes as they’re first learning, the pattern should fade around age two as their balance and muscles develop. When toe-walking continues, it often points to either a sensory concern or a mobility issue.

Here at Rehab Specialists of Idaho, we’re often asked what kind of therapy a toe-walking child needs and when a parent should be concerned. Every child is unique, but these general guidelines can help:

👣Signs Occupational Therapy may be needed:
• Toe-walking shows up off and on, not every step
• They crave or avoid certain sensations
• Other sensory quirks are noticeable in daily routines
• When they’re distracted or busy, they sometimes drop to flat feet without trying

👣Signs Physical Therapy may be needed:
• Toe-walking happens most of the time
• Calf muscles feel tight or stiff
• Limited ankle movement when you try to stretch the heels down
• Difficulty with balance skills like walking a line, hopping, or skipping
• Running looks awkward or they fatigue quickly

👣When it’s time to worry:
• Toe-walking continues past age three
• Toe-walking happens more than seventy percent of the time
• Heels cannot touch the ground without bending the knees

Do any of the following statements sound correct about your child?

👂My child often mishears sounds and words.
👂“Huh?” or “What?” are common responses when starting conversations with my child.
👂My child struggles with spelling and/or phonics.
👂Noisy environments are overwhelming when my child is trying to listen.
👂My child has trouble following verbal directions.
👂My child struggles with verbal (word) math problems.

If these statements ring true about your child, it might be time to look into testing regarding an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)!

Auditory processing difficulties are thought to affect up to 20% of school aged children and are very often misdiagnosed due to other diagnoses such as other speech-language delays, various learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and depression.

Sandra Reddish, a Speech-Language Pathologist with Rehab Specialists of Idaho (RSI) explains that an APD can affect everything from how a child hears, to how they read, to even how they remember things. Cont....
