What to expect: What to expect: When you arrive, a receptionist will assist you and answer any questions you may have. Shortly after, your therapist will greet you and take you to a treatment space specific to that session. Your therapist works to build a bond with your child through play or conversation to best help your child achieve their potential! You'll see other children and therapists working on their goals as you walk through the clinic, or one of our great therapy techs working with therapists and kiddos to give them an extra hand! Many PMC parents also find support in each other as they share stories of their child’s successes and difficulties during treatment sessions.
