When Early Intervention Isn’t Enough, Progress Can’t Wait

Specialized Pediatric Physical Therapy for Babies & Young Children Who Are Not Meeting Motor Milestones — Even After EI

f your child is not rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, or walking when expected — and Early Intervention feels slow, generic, or unclear — you’re not alone.

We help families achieve meaningful motor progress in weeks, not months, through a highly individualized, neurodevelopment-focused approach that goes far beyond traditional EI therapy.

“I highly recommend CLPT! I came here for my baby because she still wasn’t walking at 15months old. I was told by another PT that my daughter had low muscle tone and that i would need to get her a brace in order for her to walk. with just a few sessions with David she started to walk without the brace!” - Hannah I.

How Our Approach Is Different

This is not traditional pediatric physical therapy.

Our work is based on advanced neurodevelopmental and movement principles that focus on how the brain organizes movement — not just on practicing isolated skills.

This Service Is Designed for Parents Who:

Feel anxious that their child is “falling behind”

• Have tried Early Intervention but see limited or inconsistent progress

• Want clear answers, measurable goals, and faster results

• Are worried about missing critical windows of brain and motor development

• Are willing to invest privately to give their child the best possible start

If you’re looking for another weekly therapy visit that looks the same as EI — this is not that.

“David came as a recommendation for my 18 month daughter to work on her walking gait and strengthening her lower leg muscles. David is very knowledgeable and has a great touch with kids. My daughter immediately warmed up to him and allowed the sessions to begin with no hesitations. With just a few sessions we saw improvement. Thank you David.” - Tanya K.

What makes this approach different:

• One-on-one, highly individualized care

• Focus on how your child initiates and controls movement

• Intensive, goal-driven programs rather than passive weekly visits

• Parents are actively coached so progress continues at home

• Clear benchmarks so you know whether it’s working

We don’t just ask if your child is moving —
we ask how, why, and what is limiting progress.

Why Many Children Don’t Make the Progress Parents Expect in Early Intervention

Early Intervention is an essential public service — but it is designed to serve systems, not optimize outcomes for individual children.

Common limitations include:

• Short, infrequent sessions

• Broad goals instead of precise motor targets

• Limited intensity during critical neuroplastic windows

• Minimal parent coaching and carryover strategy

For some children, this simply isn’t enough.

When progress stalls, parents are often told:

“Let’s wait and see.”

But development does not wait.

How This Complements — Not Replaces — Early Intervention

Some families use this service alongside EI.
Others come after EI has not produced the progress they hoped for.

This work is often best suited for:

• Children who need more precise input

• Families seeking faster or deeper change

• Parents who want a higher level of specialization and attention

Think of this as advanced, individualized care when standard approaches aren’t enough.
