Santé Rehabilitation Group, the largest independent pediatric provider in Texas, is the one name to call for pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapies. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of children by helping them reach their highest potential.

As a licensed home care provider, our pediatric programs are Joint Commission accredited and Medicaid certified. Every day, our skilled, trained staff work with over 1,000 pediatric patients from one month old to 21 years old in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, El Paso and surrounding areas. Santé welcomes patients from ECI, Head Start and most insurance plans.

Individualized Plan of Care

Santé understands the importance of flexibility and offers therapy services in the child’s home, school, daycare, or at our pediatric clinic. Our teams of enthusiastic, licensed and certified therapists work under the direction of the child’s doctor or specialist. During the initial assessment, the therapists evaluate the child's functioning in these areas: gross and fine motor skills, perceptual discrimination, cognition, attention skills, self-help, social and receptive skills and expressive language. Based on the findings, they develop a custom treatment plan for each child, which can include:
• Physical therapy – to increase the child’s mobility, range of motion, and functional motor skills, improve posture and conditioning, and prevent or slow orthopedic problems.
• Occupational therapy – to help the child with self-care, everyday tasks at home or school, and improve, develop or restore fine motor functions.
• Speech and language pathology – to improve the child’s ability to communicate wants and needs, address swallowing difficulties, improve fluency of speech, and improve memory or retention skills.

In addition to caring for the individual needs of each child, our therapists support and work with parents, caregivers and educators to adapt appropriate techniques for the child’s daily environment. They routinely communicate with the family, child’s doctor, educators, and others involved in the child’s care about the child’s progress.

a Santé patient story

Over the last three years, the Santé physical, occupational, and speech-language therapists have worked with Buck on balance, stretching, walking, lower body and fine motor skills, and communication. When therapy began, Buck had no interest in toys. He now will reach out and grasp toys. Buck can sit by himself, crawls around the house, is pulling to stand and beginning to cruise the furniture. Even though he needs help with feeding, Buck’s improving eye-hand coordination allows him to eat finger foods on his own. Using simple sign language, the speech-language therapist is working with him on communication skills. Buck is following some directions better, such as “give me the toy.”

In between the Santé visits, Regina works with Buck on mobility and balance. He can stand on his own for five to ten seconds! “It has really helped to have the same therapists work with Buck at our home or school. They work so well together. We’re thankful for his continued progress,” said Regina.
