Pediatric Therapy Services in Lenexa

Perhaps your child struggles with daily activities, or you’re concerned about their ability to achieve age-appropriate milestones. If this is the case, then they’d probably benefit! We support you with a team of caring professionals while helping you develop your support network.

When you sign your child up for therapy, you help them overcome their challenges and continue to do so as they grow older. You’re preparing them to become a more self-aware, confident, and resilient person. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about our pediatric therapy services in Lenexa.

You don’t need to stay during your child’s treatment time—in fact, we understand a parent’s need for a break! Many parents take the opportunity to run errands or enjoy a quiet walk. Of course, parents are always welcome to stay. Depending on your preference, you can observe or participate in therapy.

We do not provide ABA therapy. However, some of our children receive ABA therapy services outside of Playabilities, and we are always happy to provide holistic support to your family by collaborating with outside providers.

At Playabilities, the DIR model guides our approach. DIR stands for Development, Individual Differences, and Relationship-based therapy.

This approach focuses on social and emotional skills, allowing the child to lead through play. By building a relationship with your child, we help them stay on track for developmental milestones.

If you think your child would benefit from pediatric therapy services in Lenexa, our play-based therapy can help.

Playabilities does not diagnose children, though we’re happy to refer your family to providers who can provide diagnostic evaluations. We can also share paperwork and clinical observations with your provider to support their evaluation.

No, we are not licensed mental health play therapists, but we do incorporate play-based therapy throughout our multi-disciplinary practices! We are occupational, physical, and speech therapists who use play as the primary means of connecting with children.

Play is central to a child’s world. When we provide pediatric therapy services in Lenexa, we take play seriously: building important skills and nurturing your child’s strengths. On a more basic level, that also means kids have fun at Playabilities! You can learn more about our services and approach by visiting our resource center.

Our standard practice is to conduct evaluations here at Playabilities, where we have the right setting for completing evaluations. However, some children have heavily school-based concerns. In these cases, we do establish a treatment plan within our clinic setting and our therapists are happy to set up a school observation to assess the child’s needs within this context.
