At such a young age, there is usually a minimal difference in what a PT and an OT would do with a child. There is a shortage of Physical Therapists in the Lakewood area but there are many more Occupational Therapists. My baby had a weakness on one side and I had him evaluated by a PT when he was already receiving OT. The PT said that the OT is covering all needed areas so I don't have to wait for an open PT slot. If you have insurance, you might want to look for a good OT.

It's for weak core. Is that something an OT can address?

I assume so because OTs work on weak core even in older children. However, I am not an OT so don't take my word for it. I really liked the way Rivky Freundlich of Hand 'n Hand Therapy connected with my baby and we saw a lot of progress BH. Not sure if she accepts insurance.
