Behavioral Issues
Behavioral issues manifest in children in a variety of ways. Generally, these issues result in a very challenging childhood, which can then go on to impact patients throughout their whole lives. Behavioral issues in children may also leave you as a parent feeling puzzled on what to do and how to best help them.
Some examples of conditions that a licensed pediatric therapist can assist with are as follows:
- Gross motor skills – walking, running, lifting
- Fine motor skills – writing, eating, holding items
- Motor planning – getting dressed, brushing teeth
- Social & speech skills – talking, participating in conversations with their peers
Pediatric therapy at Maryland Neuro-Rehab & Wellness Center takes an integrated approach to care. Therapy for behavioral issues often involves targeted stretches to improve a child’s physical strength, playtime to teach them the correct way to hold toys and explore, as well as exercises and training to improve how they walk or run.
Your child’s therapist will also construct an at-home exercise program so that you can continue to help your child outside the clinic. Your involvement can speed-up progress and make your child more comfortable with their therapy.

FAQs
Realizing that your child may have a sensory-motor disorder might be a little confusing for you at first. Maryland Neuro-Rehab & Wellness Center offers a variety of pediatric therapy services that can help your child meet the proper milestones for their age.
If your child has a sensory issue, it means that they may have difficulties with one or more of the five main senses such as touch or taste.
A few examples of tasks your child may struggle with include:

- Dancing
- Dressing themselves
- Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as writing
By providing deep, caring attention via pediatric therapy at Maryland Neuro-Rehab & Wellness Center, your child’s motor issues can be managed and addressed. One of our pediatric therapists will assess your child’s abilities or any setbacks they might have. They can incorporate sensory integration therapy into treatment as well, where your child will be evaluated for any “sensory defensiveness” or “sensory cravings.”
