    A national study conducted for the American Chamber of Commerce Executives shows that being a member of your local chamber can give you a competitive edge. The study indicated that consumers who are told that a business is a chamber member are 57%  more likely to think positively of its local reputation. In addition, consumers are 63% more likely to buy goods and services in the future from a company that they believe is a member of a local chamber of commerce.

     Playful Learning
    - Providing pediatric occupational therapy, physical therapy and evaluations in our Eagle River & Wasilla clinics.
         Pediatric Occupational Therapy: Our occupational therapists help children participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). We help children with special needs to participate fully in school and social situations, and overall lead a happier, healthier and more meaningful life.
         Pediatric Physical Therapy: Developmental delays, genetic disorders, injuries or other circumstances may impede your child's strength, range of motion and coordination. For these reasons physicians often recommend Physical Therapy for children. Our Physical Therapists are here to evaluate your child, create a comprehensive treatment plan to address any concerns and carry out therapy. Through developmental activities, strength and balance exercises, stretches, adaptive play, massage and other physical therapy techniques, we'll encourage improvements in your child's movement and ability to accomplish daily activities. Our pediatric therapists aim to improve your child's physical well-being, limit any pain or discomfort as a result of physical problems, and educate parents to better assist the child at home.
         For our staff, there's nothing better than seeing a child reach his or her goals and master new skills and abilities. In Eagle River we are located at 12812 Old Glenn Hwy Suite 3. Our phone is 907 317 9307. www.playfullearningtherapy.com.
