    Overview 

    Our highly trained pediatric occupational therapy team utilizes the unparalleled array of equipment within our clinics. Our therapists have the ability to address the occupational therapy (OT) needs of the child in a unique and engaging environment. 


    What is pediatric occupational therapy? 

    Occupational therapy helps children develop skills for everyday living. OT helps with: 

    Sensory integration 

    Also known as sensory processing, this is using our brains and our bodies to process the sensations happening around us. 

    Social skills 

    Social skills include learning how to interact with others, adapt to change, navigate emotions and develop problem-solving skills.

    Feeding 

    Feeding therapy helps children who have difficulty eating or drinking. Occupational therapists may address sensory issues like aversion to tastes or textures, or work on oral motor skills — how jaw, tongue, lips, cheek and teeth work together.

    Fine motor/visual motor skills 

    This includes skills like handwriting, tying shoes and cutting with scissors, which require smaller movements and hand-eye coordination. 

    Play 

    A child’s primary “occupation” is play. Occupational therapists help create environments for developmentally appropriate play by choosing activities that support your child’s individual needs and skill level. 

    Self-care 

    Self-care skills we work on in occupational therapy include dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing, cooking/food preparation and more. 


    How do you know if OT can help your child? 

    Our occupational therapy screening tool is a great way to determine if pediatric occupational therapy (OT) is right for your child and can help them meet life’s challenges. Your child may benefit from occupational therapy intervention if they have experienced or are experiencing any of the issues mentioned in our free screening tool.
