We are a pediatric therapy center providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy services for children located in Toledo, Ohio. More than 25 years ago we recognized that the families are the most important part of a child’s life and that they need to be an integral part of any treatment program. It’s our practice’s mission. Learn more about how we could help your child today.
Rehab Dynamics offers the following pediatric therapy services
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on the functional tasks that impact a child’s ability to interact effectively with their environment, family, and peers. This includes examining how they take in information from their sensory system and processes it for use, how well they are able to modulate or regulate their responses to the information, and their actual performance of age appropriate skills.
The focus of pediatric physical therapy is to maximize a child’s functional independence in their environment. For some children this means working on developing typical skills such as sitting, creeping and walking so that the child may better access their environment. For other children it can mean improving range of motion and/or strength to return to a previous level of functioning, after an injury or surgery.
Pediatric speech therapy concentrates on the many aspects of communication: pre-communication skills, auditory comprehension, expressive language, oral motor development and feeding, articulation development, fluency, social language skills, and auditory processing, to name a few.
We are a private therapy practice located in northwest Ohio that caters to children with special needs and their families. The Rehab Dynamics staff has training and experience specifically in the field of pediatric therapy.
Rehab Dynamics, Inc. was formed in 1996 by Maureen Kane-Wineland, Ph.D.,OT/L and Ann Nagle, P.T. after they noticed a lack of private therapy services in the greater Toledo area focusing on children. We currently are located in West Toledo off of U.S. 23 where we have a 6,000 sq ft. building that allows us to provide both individual and groups programs.

RDI continues to provide pediatric OT, PT and Speech Therapy for our families with primarily in-person services, as well as via telehealth, if medically necessary or requested. Families are asked to discuss their preferences with the office staff when they call in to schedule an evaluation. In-person services will continue to be subject to the latest guidelines from the Ohio Department of Health, until the public health emergency ends.
IN-PERSON SERVICES: All clients coming to the clinic will be asked a few questions regarding any potential exposure to COVID-19 upon arrival. This is done to make sure they have not been recently exposed to COVID-19 and do not currently have any symptoms that could lead to a diagnosis.
All staff are still required to wear masks due to the number of high-risk individuals that we serve. Children and parents accompanying them are asked to if they are able to do so. At the current time, our waiting room is not open as we are continuing to limit the number of people, including the number of therapists at one time, in the building. One adult may accompany the child to the therapy session, but at this time we are not allowing siblings. If there are special circumstances that necessitate accomadations please ask the office staff, and we will try to work with you on this.
It is helpful to have an adult participate so that they can coordinate with the therapist on strategies to use at home. If the adult cannot stay during the session, it is important to chat with the therapist after the session to hear about the activities done and what can be done at home to help work on the goals.
All areas useds are being continually disinfected before each patient. Other precautions that continue to be in place for in-person services are as follows:
Families are asked to text us on the posted number when they arrive.
All therapists will be wearing masks which provide protection for them, the children and families.
A professional cleaning company cleans and sanitizes the clinic regularly. They also supply us with the appropriate cleaning supplies that are necessary to disinfect between patients.
An I-Wave filter to purify the air and reduce pathogens, allergens, and particles was added to the HVAC system.
UV Light Sanitizers are used in each room on a daily basis to reduce harmful bacteria, germs, viruses, or allergens.
TELEHEALTH SESSIONS: For those who need home-based therapy services and cannot come to the clinic safely, we are continuing to provide telehealth services if covered by your insurance. We must verify coverage for this before it can be arranged. These can be set up for OT, PT, and/or Speech Therapy and provided on a regular schedule depending on what the child and family needs after the evaluation is completed.
Families are asked to work with the therapist during sessions to help their child participate and have the materials required available.
In summary, we want to be able to safely provide needed services and to keep everyone involved healthy. At this time we feel that most children can be safely seen in the clinic setting. Let your therapists know your goals and coordinate with them to make a plan that works for both of you.
Please feel free to contact us to ask any questions or discuss a concern. Thank you for working with us during these challenges.
