Who Can Benefit
Children or adolescents experiencing difficulties with gross or fine motor
skills, developmental delays, visual perception problems, symptoms related
to cerebral palsy and other congenital diseases, or for those suffering
from a head trauma or neuromuscular injury may benefit from the early
intervention and therapy options available at Citrus Valley Centers for

How We Can Help
Early intervention is the key to improving a patient’s prognosis
and improving his or her chances for a full and rewarding life. By utilizing
the Physical, Occupational and Speech-Language Therapies available at
Citrus Valley Centers, we can help:
- Increase skills to a functional level by the time the child starts school
- Increase cognitive functions in order to make academic progress
- Decrease poor habits and disruptive behaviors
- Increase self-esteem and socialization skills

and disabilities
