We provide pediatric physical therapy at our state-of-the-art clinic in Miami Springs, as well as through home health visits and on-site at preschools, daycares, and K-12 schools. Our therapists thoughtfully evaluate each child and family’s needs to develop customized treatment plans that are engaging, rewarding, and efficient.

Here is a step by step process in your child’s development process with AKL.

Initial Contact & documentation process

Evaluation is scheduled and conducted

Plan of care is processed and sent to Physician

AKL processes Plan of Care and assigns the therapist

Therapy Sessions begin

Parents contact AKL inquiring about Occupational and Physical therapy. AKL does a 5-minute questionnaire to establish the patient information. An email is then sent to the parent advising of the next step. The email contains the requests for a couple of documents needed to begin the initial appointment with AKL.

Once the payment information is confirmed, we will send another email to the parent coordinating and confirming the evaluation appointment.

The parent will receive a notification reminder for the evaluation appointment via text, email and or a call. The information will contain documents needed, time and date of the appointment as well as the licensed therapist who will be evaluating the patient. The therapist might also contact the parent to confirm the appointment and coordinate the session.

The parent will receive the next steps via an email following up the evaluation.

The parent will receive a notification once the plan of care has been signed by the referring physician. We will coordinate with the parent of availability and amount of sessions that will be provided weekly.

Once therapy starts, the success of the sessions will be based on consistency and mutual feedback on the development of the patient.
