Occupational Therapy Services:

Our licensed occupational therapists support cognitive, physical, and emotional development through evidence-based treatment for children of all ages. 

What is occupational therapy? 

Pediatric occupational therapists focus on helping children advance their life skills. They support overall development, social skills, activities of daily living, and quality of life. Our occupational therapists consider each child’s unique sensory, cognitive, and emotional strengths and challenges and support development through playful interactions and meaningful relationships. Occupational therapy helps individuals gain life skills that they can generalize and carry with them through adulthood.

Examples of our services:

Examples include helping infants with oral motor skills needed to eat, supporting toddlers in achieving developmental milestones like crawling and stacking blocks, helping school-aged children with sensory challenges across various environments, and working with families to support emotional regulation during teenage years. We can help your child with:

• Fine motor skills: grasping of toys, handwriting skills

• Gross motor skills: balance, coordination for running and jumping, playing on playgrounds

• Sensory profile: understanding and organizing the environment and all of the sensory input that comes with it (auditory, touch, vestibular, visual, proprioceptive) 

• Regulation: emotional and physiological awareness and calmness needed to process the environment and carry out tasks

• Activities of daily living: toilet training, dressing, self-care

• Social skills: interacting with others effectively and appropriately
