Rehabilitation Associates, Inc., which has been providing a range of pediatric therapy services in the Richmond, VA and surrounding area for the past 23 years, has announced that it is changing its name to Aveanna Healthcare. Rehabilitation Associates, Inc. has been a part of Aveanna and a leader in pediatric and adult home healthcare since March 2017 when our parent company Epic Health Services merged with PSA Healthcare.
“As we enter this new phase of our business, we are renewing our commitment to providing excellent pediatric therapy to children in our area,” said Wendy Bryant, Therapy Director of the local clinic. “Our team of professionals is known for providing compassionate, dependable, effective, and trusted care. The only difference is that now we will do it under the Aveanna name.”
Bryant continued: “As with Rehabilitation Associates, Inc., Aveanna’s care will be focused on addressing the unique needs of the children we serve.
Our team of pediatric physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and board certified behavior analysts provide therapies aimed at helping children reach their optimal level of performance and well-being.”
Pediatric physical therapy evaluates and addresses concerns with motor skills, orthopedic injuries, and health and wellness to help children function independently so they can actively participate in home, school, and community environments.
Pediatric occupational therapy helps children with sensory integration, feeding difficulties, fine motor skills, ADLs (dressing, bathing, toileting), and social–emotional skills, with the goal of the therapy being to help them function in their everyday routines.
Pediatric speech therapy aids children in addressing disorders involving communication, feeding and swallowing, and language so that they can participate in daily activities and play alongside their peers.
Applied behavior analysis is a field dedicated to the understanding and improvement of human behavior. It is the most accepted, scientifically proven treatment to assist children with autism develop skills and reduce problem behaviors, including self-injury, aggression, and food refusal, among others.
Bryant cited the clinical excellence of the Aveanna team as the foundation that the company’s services are built on. “That, combined with our 30 years of experience, our caregiver collaboration, and our family-centered treatment, ensures that we provide a level of therapy that gives each patient the greatest opportunity to succeed.”
As a part of its commitment to care, the Aveanna team works with community agencies, payer sources, hospitals, and a host of other resources to assist families in navigating the world of short- and long-term pediatric care.
