While regular swim lessons follow a standardized structure designed for typically developing swimmers, adaptive lessons are customized to meet each swimmer's unique abilities and learning style. These lessons are often taught one-on-one or in small groups by instructors trained to work with diverse needs, using specialized techniques to promote comfort, confidence, safety, and skill development in the water. The focus goes beyond traditional swimming skills, emphasizing therapeutic benefits, emotional support, and individual progress at a pace that suits the swimmer.

  • School-based physical therapy is designed to help students move and participate as independently as possible within their school environment.

    Outpatient pediatric physical therapy focuses on a child’s overall physical development and mobility in all areas of life — not just school. This type of therapy often addresses more in-depth medical or developmental needs, such as walking, coordination, strength, posture, and motor planning.
