Occupational Therapy

During Occupational Therapy sessions we spend time playing, experiencing nature, building relationships, dancing, writing/coloring, and exploring areas of interest in order to facilitate development of age-appropriate skills. Using a variety of assessment tools, we work alongside families to create a plan of care that encompasses the skills and goals that are most important to the client and will facilitate participation in daily life. 

Your child may benefit from occupational therapy if:

  • You are concerned about your child’s development.
  • You feel your child struggles to complete coordinated movements.
  • You notice behavior concerns that impact engagement in daily or family life.
  • Your child struggles to complete age appropriate self-care skills. 
  • Your child responds to his sensory environment in a way that hinders his involvement in relationships or activities. 
  • You have concerns about fine motor or gross motor development. 
  • You find yourself frustrated with teaching your child new skills.
