Occupational Therapy

From initial evaluation through intervention, our therapists are guided by your child’s individual needs and strengths and strive to engage him or her in “just right challenges” to build confidence along with skills.

Areas that may be addressed in treatment include:

• sensory processing and modulation
• postural motor skills
• motor planning
• gross and fine motor development
• visual perceptual and visual motor integration skills
• handwriting
• play and social communication skills
• self-regulation
• attention and organizational abilities
• self-help skills including development of oral motor and feeding skills

Therapists work closely with your family and welcome collaboration with other providers to support your child’s functioning at home, school and in the community. Their techniques are developed to elicit joy in play and support independence in daily activities.
