Sometimes children may need additional support with developing certain skills. It’s important to remember each child’s journey is unique. While there are milestones that should be reached, it’s not uncommon for children to face challenges as they grow up. 

As a parent, you know your child best. Knowing what issues to be on the lookout for can help you determine if your child would benefit from seeing a pediatric rehab specialist.

Learn about pediatric rehabilitation on the latest episode of the Because They’re Kids podcast, where Anne Baum talks about feeding disorders, speech and language delays and motor skills with Tyler Lawson, outpatient pediatric rehabilitation manager and speech-language pathologist, and Sarah Smith, outpatient pediatric rehabilitation physical therapist with Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital.

Are there symptoms to watch for that may indicate your child has a feeding disorder? What are the most common speech and language disorders in children? What is the difference between gross and fine motor skills? We answer these questions and more on this episode of Because They’re Kids.
