The Tortoise & The Hare
The Steady Strides’ logo features a sweet little Tortoise and Hare symbolizing our treatment philosophy that slow and steady motor development is best!
In the classic fable, a speedy hare brags about his swift running abilities and challenges a slow-moving tortoise to a race. Confident he will win the race, the hare takes a nap mid-race, thinking he has plenty of time. Meanwhile, the tortoise, moving steadily and persistently, keeps going without stopping. When the hare wakes up, he finds the tortoise nearing the finish line and, despite a final burst of speed, can't catch up in time.
The tortoise wins the race, demonstrating that consistency and perseverance often triumph over arrogance and haste.
Slow and Steady wins!
Our Treatment Approach
Motor development can often feel like a race or competition, especially when comparing your child to others—whether it's your niece, a neighbor’s baby, or those you see on social media. Comparisons can be confusing and discouraging, making you question if there's something wrong with your child or if you, as a parent, might be to blame.
At Steady Strides, we are here to listen to your concerns and validate them. You know your child best, and we encourage you to trust your instincts. While developmental checklists can help identify delays, they often don’t provide explanations or solutions. That’s where we come in. Our personalized evaluation process can uncover underlying factors contributing to your child's motor delays and determine the most effective treatment strategies.
We understand that movement involves a balance of strength, tone, posture, and motor planning. Imbalances or restrictions in any of these areas can lead to dysfunction. Our goal is to use our expertise in motor development to help nurture strong and independent movers.
We treat ALL kids. We work with babies and toddlers who have delayed milestones with sitting, rolling and crawling. We also work with children who have conditions that affect their motor abilities resulting in a unique developmental pathway. No matter where your child is on the developmental spectrum, Steady Strides is here to help your child achieve their highest potential!
