Craniofacial disorders refer to a wide range of conditions that affect the development of the head and facial bones. These disorders can include cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, and other congenital anomalies that impact a child’s appearance, as well as their ability to eat, speak, or breathe. Early intervention and therapy are crucial in managing the functional challenges associated with craniofacial disorders.

At Solaris Pediatric Therapy, our approach focuses on supporting children with craniofacial disorders in developing essential life skills. For children with speech and feeding difficulties, our speech-language pathologists work closely to improve articulation, swallowing, and overall communication abilities. We also collaborate with surgeons and medical specialists to ensure comprehensive care.

Children with craniofacial disorders may require ongoing support in areas such as fine motor development, sensory processing, and emotional well-being. Our occupational therapists offer personalized programs to help children adapt to their environments and engage in age-appropriate activities, despite physical or functional limitations. These interventions are designed to boost self-confidence and independence.

We also work closely with families to provide guidance and support, helping them navigate the complexities of craniofacial disorders. Education is a key part of our therapy programs, ensuring parents understand their child’s condition and how to support their developmental milestones at home.
