Families With Support and Advocacy

Social Services for the Family

At Pasitos Clinic, we provide much more than pediatric physical therapy. We believe in the importance of social service and therefore Pasitos Clinic has a social worker on staff at all times. In order for children with physical or mental disabilities to succeed in their therapy, it’s necessary for the child’s family and loved ones to be part of the rehabilitation process.

At Pasitos Clinic, we understand the difficulties families go through when they have to deal with the shock of learning their child has a developmental condition. For this reason, we offer emotional support to families in order to help them accept and deal with any emotions or feelings that may arise due to their child’s condition. Our team also offers information to the child’s parents and family members. It’s necessary to educate the patient’s loved ones with all the facts about the condition.

Support Services

In order for children with developmental issues to obtain the highest quality of living, it’s necessary to tend to the issue on all fronts. Although therapy does play a major role in rehabilitation, it’s also necessary to receive more specific services.
