What is Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate and succeed in their daily lives, whether it be at home, at school, and in the community. For kids, their most important occupation is play. It is through play that they develop vital foundational fine motor, gross motor, visual motor, emotional regulation skills, and more that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
Using evidence-based interventions, we work to provide families with the tools, strategies, and activities they need for carry over at home, so that the child can make consistent, faster progress towards their goals.
Occupational Therapy can help children improve and increase their independence in the following skills:
Fine Motor Skills
Gross Motor Skills (including bilateral coordination)
Visual Motor Skills
Handwriting
Sensory Integration (especially using auditory and proprioceptive modalities to regulate the nervous system)
Emotional Regulation
Executive Functioning
Feeding
We serve children birth-21. For infants and toddlers, we often focus on reaching developmental milestones, reflex integration, toileting, addressing torticollis or head preference, or any other specific genetic and neurological concerns that might impact early development. For school-aged children, we often focus on handwriting, sensory integration, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and feeding.
Every session is tailored to your child’s individual needs and developmental level, using evidence-based techniques, in the natural environment.
Our goal is to help your child feel confident, capable, and connected, so they can thrive in the things that matter most to them!
