Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Support for your child’s regulation, development, motor skills, coordination, sensory processing, and/or activities of everyday living.
Holistic occupational therapy sessions where we explore the root cause of the behavioral, functional or spiritual dysregulation while together exploring the sensory system, reflex integration, and the impact of the environment and relationships.
Areas we can address:
Feeding, sensory processing, coordination, milestone support, strength & endurance, gross and fine motor, reflexes, visual motor, emotional coping, behavioral concerns, social skills, and more.
Sessions are family focused and collaborative support, recognizing you know your child best.
Sessions will include parent involvement and are in your home, community or virtual and often start with a parent collaboration model.
