✨ The magic at All Kids Are Perfect happens in the small moments! What may seem like tiny changes to some are monumental steps for us – and the joy on our therapists’ and PT techs’ faces says it all. ❤️

A motor plan allows us to know, remember, and perform the small steps that make a particular movement or task possible. Motor control is the process of initiating, directing, and grading purposeful movement.

In our sessions, we like to say that we’re teaching the motor plan, while the child shows different grades of movement, gradually improving their motor control. Each step, each change, no matter how small, is a victory in their journey toward greater independence and strength. Show this sweet girl from Germany some love! 💪✨

Hi, I’m Dana and I have been a pediatric physical therapist for 25 years. You can read more about my practice at the top of my channel.

I see kids for a lot of different disabilities including developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, genetic disorders, dystrophies, and more. I cannot give individualized medical advice on social media and you need your doctors permission to try any exercises with your child. A therapist needs to be trained in order to perform these highly skilled exercises.

I see kids for intensives in Cary, North Carolina for 1,2, or 3 weeks for 2 visits per day. We are able to show a lot of progress with our little patients and I share that to bring hope to other parents around the world. You can find booking information at the link at the top of my channel. We also accept donations for kids that may not be able to pay for therapy. Please see 502(c)(3) link at top of channel.

I don’t share diagnoses or personal info of each child on my page because kids aren’t defined by their diagnosis. It’s my philosophy and you can read more about it on my website which is linked at the top of my channel.

Remember, there is an order on my page if your child is struggling with gross motor skills. Go to Instagram:
1. always start with AKAP stretch highlights (highlights are colored circles at top of Instagram page).
2. Learn about the TLR reflex in my reflex highlights.
3. Head control must come first. Watch head control highlights.
4. Lastly, watch the highlight on Instagram associated with the gross motor skills you are working on. For example: sitting.
