Occupational Therapy 

Our small pediatric occupational therapy practice provides personalized occupational therapy for children to improve fine motor skills, gross motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living activities through individualized, play-based interventions. We will work with families to create personalized treatment plans focusing on your child's strengths and goals, using evidence-informed strategies to foster independence, confidence, and participation in childhood occupations. 

Here are some things that we can do:

• Develop Skills: We will help children with fine motor and visual motor challenges, such as hand-eye coordination, using tools (pencils, scissors), and making sense of their environment. 

• Improve Daily Living: We will work on self-care routines like dressing, eating, and personal hygiene to build independence. 

• Address Sensory Needs: We will use sensory activities and may incorporate specific equipment to help children process sensory information from their environments.

• Promote Fine and Gross Motor Skills: We will play and participate in activities using tweezers, Play-Doh, puzzles, and other fine motor games to strengthen hands and improve coordination. 

• Incorporate Play-Based Therapy: We will use child-led and play-based approaches to make our sessions engaging and effective. 

Here are some examples of activities that you may see:

• Fine Motor: Using tweezers to pick up small objects, playing with Play-Doh to build hand strength, or putting beads on a string to make a necklace. 

• Gross Motor: Going through an obstacle course, pulling a weighted blanket, using a scooter board, or playing games that involve jumping and hopping. 

• Sensory: Exploring sensory bins, using shaving cream on a mirror, or engaging in activities with varied textures like mixing batter, kneading dough, or making slime.
