Pediatric Center of Cordele
When you have children, they become your everything. Seeing them in pain or unable to participate can be heartbreaking, and finding a solution may not be quick or easy. At Fyzical Pediatric Center, we create an encouraging environment for both child and parent to overcome any obstacles by providing one-on-one treatment and custom plans of care specific to your child. Your child is welcomed and loved at FYZICAL, and our therapists will walk alongside them as they recover and grow. At our Pediatric Center, every child dreams big, achieves the impossible, and shines their brightest – just as they were meant to! Does My Child Need Therapy? It can sound scary, but therapy isn’t scary – it’s fun! In our new Pediatric Center with the jungle gym, swing and fun toys, therapy is exciting! Whether your child is attending physical, speech or occupational therapy, there’s no need to worry about their referral. Your childmay be injured, not reachingmilestones, have a disorder, or need behavioral help. Either way, our Pediatric Center is a safe place that celebrates all children for who they are and encourages them to shine THEIR brightest! Therapy is simply a way to open doors to continue the activities your child enjoys, and strengthen them to take on new challenges. What To Expect Taking your child to a new clinic with new staff and treatment can be overwhelming, but we’re here to calm the nerves. After receiving a therapy referral, your child will attend an ‘evaluation’. supporting your child at FYZICAL

Next, the therapist creates a plan of care for your child - frequency of appointments, goals to achieve, and treatment methods are all things your therapist will piece together and continue to tweak as they work with your child. Depending on the cause of your child in therapy, they may be discharged! This means they have grown and achieved what they were referred to therapy for, and no longer need us. We’ll be sad to see them leave, but so excited to celebrate their success! If you think your child might be in need of physical, speech or occupational therapy, why not start seeing growth today? Give us a call at (229) 207-4004.

Our Pediatric Center has provided an incredible environment for our kids to have fun AND work towards their goals in therapy. One of our patients, Lillie Mae, has seen incredible growth in speech therapy over the past year! Check out her story! “This is Lillie Mae, she goes by Mimi. We were in speech therapy at school becauseMimi could not say a lot of her sounds. She couldn’t recognize letters and make the connections with letters and sounds. Through that, there were a lot of developmental concerns that she just wasn’t able

to do. We were referred by her pediatrician to come here for speech therapy. We knew her services at school just weren’t enough. We come twice a week to meet with Mrs. Stephanie, and it has literally been answer to prayer. They connected immediately and Mrs. Stephanie is Mimi’s best friend. She has mastered ‘L,’ and we are working on ‘R.’ She has been able to recognize the sound that goes with all of the letters - phonological awareness has been a BIG thing. Mimi may struggle with any type of memory retention, but she can spell so well now, and that’s because we have mastered phonological awareness with Mrs. Stephanie - tapping sounds out and knowing our sounds and letters and which ones go together. If you could’ve met her a year ago, you would not believe the amount of growth she has experienced, and it doesn’t even feel like it’s been a year. Stephanie is just amazing.” Mimi says she wants to be Elsa when she grows up, and her favorite thing about speech therapy is the letter R and the big playground!
