The Children's Pyramid
The Children’s Pyramid was established in 1994
and provides early supports and services throughout Southern New Hampshire.
Early supports and services are specifically designed for children from
birth to three years of age and their families.
The Children’s Pyramid is comprised of
professionals and paraprofessionals in the following areas:
Physical Therapy : To provide activities to
address your child’s gross motor and sensory motor development and improve
muscle strength, balance and coordination.
Occupational Therapy : To address your child’s
hand use, self-help and feeding development. The occupational therapist will
also assess your child’s ability to take in information and learn from their
senses (sensory integration).
Speech and Language Therapy : To work
with your child to improve speech and language skills and/or implement
alternative modes of communication if necessary. The speech pathologist also
provides assistance with oral-motor and feeding skills.
Educational Therapy : To develop programs to
enhance interaction and play skills to help your child learn about their
environment.
Behavioral Consultation : All children test
their limits. By observing and talking about your child’s challenging
behaviors, successful strategies to manage them can be developed.
Family Services Associate : A unique
paraprofessional position within The Children’s Pyramid. Each family is
paired with a Family Services Associate to provide assistance as needed in
areas such as: service coordination, family support and carryover services.
