OUR TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
Empowering clients through a strengths-based, family-centered approach.
At Functional Foundations Pediatric Services, we focus on helping children actively engage in meaningful and functional activities by building on their unique strengths and interests. Our approach emphasizes unlocking each child's potential through purposeful movement and practical strategies that fit into their daily routines, ensuring long-lasting positive outcomes.
Our treatment sessions are tailored to your child's needs, creating a fun and engaging environment that fosters exploration, expression, and autonomy. We also emphasize caregiver involvement, equipping families with strategies to support progress at home and enhance therapeutic benefits beyond the clinic.
WHAT OUR SERVICES LOOK LIKE
At Functional Foundations Pediatric Therapy, we take a team-based approach to ensure your child receives comprehensive care, and you get clear communication from all professionals involved.
Our evaluations include key team members to gather the information needed to:
-
Ensure the program is a good fit for your child and family.
-
Assess your child’s participation in daily life and how we can improve it.
-
Review equipment (wheelchairs, braces, etc.) to support your child’s needs.
-
Identify activities your child enjoys for an easy transition into therapy.
-
Create a care plan that aligns with both your child's needs and your goals as a caregiver.
-
Provide insurance documentation to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Treatment typically includes sessions 1-3 times/ week, lasting 60-120 minutes.
Our therapists collaborate and support each other to ensure your child gets the benefit of their shared knowledge to work toward their goals.
Care plans last 3 weeks to 6 months. At the end of the plan, we reevaluate your child’s progress and recommend continuing, pausing, or concluding services based on their needs.
THE SPACE
Functional Foundations Pediatric Therapy is located in the wheelchair-accessible Tamarack Building in South Eugene, thoughtfully designed to welcome children of all ages and abilities.
Our open-concept clinic fosters collaboration and community and currently features:
-
A fully accessible indoor gym equipped with everything needed to support our clients’ success.
-
A kitchen and dining area for practicing meal preparation and feeding activities.

A fully accessible toileting and shower area for skill-building as needed.
We're excited to announce our plans for the coming years, which include a fully accessible space featuring an edible garden. This new area will offer children with complex needs the chance to engage in outdoor activities. Additionally, we will introduce specialized equipment and tailored spaces to enhance our treatments. We're also committed to providing more fully accessible events that promote socialization and foster community growth.
