Occupational therapy teaches new functional skills through the therapeutic use of play and everyday activities.
Getting started with OT
Our licensed occupational therapist (OT) will complete a comprehensive assessment of your child’s functional abilities, including attention span, play skills, motor skills, and interactions with others.
We’ll then develop an individualized program specifically for your child.

Motor Skills
Using evidenced-based strategies and interventions, our OT can help your child improve skills in the following areas:
- Daily self-care skills (eating, getting dressed, grooming, and hygiene)
- Fine motor skills (those needed to manipulate objects with one or two hands including handwriting, cutting, doing puzzles, catching, throwing, etc.)
- Gross motor skills (walking, climbing stairs, riding a bike)
- Sensory integration

Occupational therapy can help your child make progress in the areas of developing relationships, focusing on tasks, expressing feelings, engaging with others, and learning how to self-regulate.
Occupational therapy may be helpful for children who have:
- Austism Spectrum Disorder

- Motor skills delays
- Feeding difficulties
- Toileting difficulties
