Phil Koch thought that given my son Trevor's high level of mobility and the consequent subtlety of intervention required, it may not be advisable to pursue home therapy. He did suggest that we revisit the idea after he has re-commenced therapy for Trevor.
Thanks for following up.

Thanks, but Roslyn would be even further out. Manhattan or Brooklyn would be ideal. He is 175 lbs and almost 6 foot (pediatric in age 15 - but not in size).

I will contact her, thanks. Also, just so you know, we aren't looking for home use, but would expect the therapy to take place in an office. Sorry, I may have filled out the form incorrectly.
Thanks again for your help.

I am trying to qualify a location in Roslyn, NY- would this location be convenient enough for you to go to if the unit they have is big enough and I can locate a trained clinician there?
How tall is your son & how much does he weight?

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Koch's location is difficult for us to get to, so if you could find something else, that would be great. -Gary Dolan

If it would be for private in-home use, you should contact this clinician. She may also know of other pediatric clinicians to refer you to if you contact her directly.

Many of the larger facilities use various sizes of LiteGaits. They are at Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Ctr,
New York Presbyterian Hospital- Pediatric, Mount Sinai Medical Center, RUSK.
If you are interested in more information about any of the larger centers I would have to do a bit more research for the best contact information.
Feel free to contact me directly at education@litegait.com

I am looking for a pediatric PT in NYC who uses the Lite Gait therapy. It is for my 15 year old son. If you or someone you know fits this description, please let me know. Thanks, Gary Dolan
