Certified Autism Center
Mary Washington Pediatric Therapy (formerly known as Fox Therapy) was the
first therapy center in Virginia to receive the Certification of Autism
Care from the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education
Standards (IBCCES). This designation means that the Mary Washington Pediatric
Therapy staff have undergone a rigorous training process that will assist
in providing services for those who have autism. This means that parents
of children with autism can be confident that we not only understand your
child but are trained to provide the best services possible for your child!

Services
Speech Therapy
Speech and language therapy (ST) provides assessment, treatment and support
for children who have speech, language, voice, social skills, and communication
difficulties. ST educates and supports families in helping their child
meet speech and language milestones.
Occupational therapy (OT) provides treatment and support for children who
have physical, sensory, cognitive, or visual difficulties. OTs help children
achieve their developmental milestones, as well as educate parents for
the overall success for their child.
Feeding therapy helps children improve their feeding skills allows for
more enjoyable mealtimes for the child and their family. At Mary Washington
Pediatric Therapy, we offer a fun and functional sensory-motor approach
to feeding to help your child build their confidence and independence
with a variety of food.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes all forms of
communication (other than oral speech) that are used to express thoughts,
needs, wants, and ideas. AAC can be temporary or life-long to meet speech
and language needs.
Myofunctional therapy utilizes techniques to help eliminate harmful habit
patterns, normalize resting tongue, lips and jaw positions, and/or retrain
muscle patterns when there is tongue thrusting.
We are offering this as a way for our patients to continue progress toward
goals, as well as a way to provide social connection during the time of
COVID-19. Here is what is needed to participate: computer, tablet, or
phone, good internet connection, a person available to assist child and,
