Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children build the skills they need to participate in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community. This includes things like getting dressed, using utensils, handwriting, playing with peers, managing emotions, and staying focused. Our occupational therapists support children in developing independence, confidence, and coordination through play-based, goal-driven activities tailored to each child’s needs.
Signs Your Child
Could Benefit
Every child develops at their own pace, but if you notice ongoing challenges with daily tasks, coordination, attention, or emotional regulation, occupational therapy may help. OT supports children in building the foundational skills they need for independence and success in everyday life.
Signs your child could benefit from OT include, but are not limited to:
🔹 Difficulty with fine motor tasks like writing, buttoning, or using utensils
🔹 Delays in self-care skills (dressing, feeding, toileting)
🔹 Trouble staying focused or following multi-step directions
🔹 Sensory sensitivities or seeking excessive movement/input
🔹 Challenges with emotional regulation or frustration tolerance
🔹 Difficulty with motor coordination, balance, or strength
🔹 Trouble engaging in age-appropriate play or social interaction
What To Expect
Occupational therapy sessions are personalized, hands-on, and play-based — designed to feel fun and meaningful for your child while targeting specific developmental goals. Depending on your child’s needs, sessions may focus on improving fine motor skills, coordination, sensory processing, attention, or self-care routines like dressing and feeding.
Our therapists use creative, purposeful activities that mirror real-life tasks, helping your child build confidence and independence in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. You’ll receive ongoing updates and guidance so you can carry over progress at home and be an active part of your child’s success.
