Pediatric Kinesiology

Pediatric Kinesiology for Autism and Developmental Delays

My Empower Therapy provides specialized pediatric kinesiology services designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing challenges, toe-walking, and developmental delays. Our kinesiologists are trained in movement science, motor learning, and sensory-motor development, offering children a powerful pathway to growth that complements speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behaviour therapy.

How Pediatric Kinesiology Helps Children with Autism

Many children on the autism spectrum experience motor delays, coordination challenges, low muscle tone, and difficulties with sensory regulation. Pediatric kinesiology helps by strengthening foundational motor skills that support learning, emotional regulation, and independence.

Children benefit through:

• Increased balance, core strength, and coordination • Reduction in toe-walking and postural strain • Improved sensory processing and emotional regulation • Stronger motor planning, stability, and body awareness • Greater participation in school, therapy, and community activities • Enhanced ability to follow routines, imitate, and stay regulated

What Kinesiology Sessions Include

Each session is individualized to the child’s goals and developmental needs. Activities may include: • Structured sensory-motor circuits • Strengthening and conditioning exercises • Balance and bilateral coordination training • Gait retraining for toe-walking • Proprioceptive and vestibular input for self-regulation • Obstacle courses and motor sequencing • Posture and core stability work • Parent coaching and home program strategies

Who Benefits from Pediatric Kinesiology

Our program supports children experiencing: • Autism spectrum disorder • Sensory processing disorder • Global developmental delay • Toe-walking • Motor planning difficulties • Low tone or core weakness • ADHD-related motor challenges • Coordination delays • Emotional regulation difficulties

Integrated Care Model

At My Empower Therapy, kinesiology is integrated with OT, speech therapy, behaviour therapy, and MeRT neuromodulation. This collaborative model ensures a coordinated plan that accelerates progress across communication, behaviour, sensory regulation, and academic readiness.
