Children’s physical development and movement is linked closely to other aspects of their daily learning. It is influenced by their growing confidence and enjoyment of physical play, by their increasing ability to control their own bodies through movement and by their physical well-being and strength. As children develop physically, they become faster, stronger, more mobile and more secure of their balance, and they start to use these skills in a wider range of physical activities and also begin to become more aware of themselves as individuals. This developing sense of identity is linked closely to their own self image, self-esteem and confidence. Therapies 4 Kids has treated over 800 children from all over the world using these protocols for the last 6 years. These programs have resulted in life changing developmental gains and personal independence such as sitting, crawling, talking, walking and eating. The PediaSuit Protocoltm is a very holistic approach to treatment of individuals with neurological disorders like Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delays, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Autism and other conditions which affect a child's motor and or cognitive functions. The PediaSuit Protocoltm combines the best elements of proven various techniques and methods, and has a sound rationale based on the physiology of exercises. The key element is a individualized strengthening program established for the child based on his or her individual needs, strengths and weaknesses. Increased strength will reflects in daily functional activities that usually follow, or are combined with the strengthening exercises. The PediaSuit Protocoltm is based on an intensive and specific exercise program. It is a structured program that enhances growth and development of each child. The elimination of pathological reflexes and the establishment of new, correct, and functional patterns of movements are of significant importance. The PediaSuit Protocoltm utilizes various tools. One of them is the soft dynamic proprioceptive orthosis called the Suit. The Suit aligns the body as close to normal as possible. Reestablishing the correct postural alignment plays a crucial role in normalizing muscle tone, sensory and vestibular function. The Ability Exercise Unit is used to train a child to gain the ability to isolate the desired movements and strengthen the muscle groups responsible for that movement. The Universal Exercise Unit allows one to gain range of motion , muscle and joint flexibility, as well as functional skills.
