Physical therapy in Nassau County: building movement skills
Physical therapy in Nassau County helps children move, play, and keep up with their peers. Pediatric PT focuses on gross-motor skills crawling, walking, running, jumping, and balance along with strength, coordination, and safe, confident movement. Therefore, PT steps in when motor milestones are delayed or movement is harder than it should be.
At Nexus, our licensed physical therapists (PT, DPT) first evaluate strength, range of motion, balance, gait, and coordination. Then they build a personalized, play-based plan aligned with your child’s goals and your family’s routines. In addition, progress is tracked at every session, so the plan keeps pace as your child grows.
Nassau County stretches across western Long Island, where families live in established suburban communities and value therapists who come to them. For that reason, in-home and school-based care fits Long Island life. As a result, Nexus brings PT directly to your Nassau County home, school, or our clinic or by telehealth with NY Medicaid accepted and the Nassau County Early Intervention Program available for children birth to age 3.

Common questions from Nassau County families
What does pediatric physical therapy help with?
OT helps children build everyday skills through occupational therapy in Nassau County, including fine motor control, handwriting, sensory processing, self-care like dressing and feeding, attention, and self-regulation so they can participate more fully at home, in school, and at play.
What's the difference between OT and PT?
Occupational therapy in Nassau County focuses on fine motor, sensory, and daily living skills that support a child’s everyday activities. Physical therapy focuses on gross-motor skills like strength, balance, and mobility. Many children benefit from both, and our team coordinates them.
Do you accept NY Medicaid in Nassau County?
Occupational Therapy in Nassau County accepts NY Medicaid and most major insurance plans, and we verify your coverage at no cost before therapy begins.
My child is under 3 can they still get OT?
Yes. Children from birth to age 3 are served through the NYC Early Intervention Program (EIP). We provide licensed occupational therapy as part of that program and help you navigate the referral.
Do you coordinate with Nassau County schools?
Yes. We coordinate with each school’s Committee on Special Education (CSE) and, for preschoolers, the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), aligning PT goals with your child’s IEP.
