My philosophy on treating pediatric developmental delays is simple:

Each child is unique; therefore, the pediatric therapy must be customized for each child for maximum results.

The family must be involved and be willing to carryover the techniques learned in the therapy sessions into the child's daily routine.

A multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to pediatric therapy is the best way to overcome all aspects of a child's developmental issues.

Medicaid

Phone: 800-803-3245

Medicaid or Medical Assistance is administered by the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and is financed by federal, state and county funds. It provides services for persons in financial need who are unable to pay for needed medical and health care services. A family may be eligible for Medicaid if it earns a minimal monthly income or none at all, and owns little or no property. Anyone who receives public assistance, welfare, or SSI is eligible.

Once a person has a Medicaid card, he will be required to choose a service delivery system called Medipass or one of the Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) in their area. If a parent chooses an HMO, the child cannot receive services through the Department of Health’s Children’s Medical Services (CMS). Either program will allow your child to receive hospital care, nursing home care, laboratory services, dental care, therapies and many other services.
