The Keys to
Independence

Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. Physical disabilities, impairments, injuries or other issues can impact a child's ability to perform everyday tasks or progress through the stages of normal social or cognitive development. 
​
Our therapists work together in a collaborative environment, featuring large and private therapy rooms with the newest therapy resources and intervention strategies. Trained in multiple-disciplines, our staff provide a wide range of services to create a developmentally-appropriate and comprehensive treatment plan for you or your loved one. 

​From building the basic foundations of movement to strengthening neurological pathways, our unique perspective looks at how the whole person functions. Through this developmental scope, we integrate multiple methods to treat individuals of all ages and all abilities.
We take a foundational approach to evaluating and treating deficits related to:
  • Delays in fine motor skills
  • Help developing visual motor skills - tracking an object, hand-eye coordination
  • Cognitive delays including problem-solving, memory and attention
  • Children with sensory integration issues
  • Delays in play and social interaction skills
  • Help with learning basic self-care tasks, such as getting dressed.

​We believe in the idea of 'continuity of care', which is why we work to give families the tools to implement therapies in their own homes to maximize the intervention.

Integrated Therapies

In addition to cross-department training (including S.M.A.R.T.) at our multi-clinic agency, our OTs have also received specialized training in: 
  • Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) - an  approach that looks at how well primary motor reflexes (automatic responses from the nervous system) are functioning as a part of the whole brain-body system.
  • Sensory Integration Therapy - a program that focuses on understanding and processing of sensory information including touch, sound, smell, taste, body awareness, movement and spatial awareness.​
