Pediatric Occupational Therapy

The Wonders of Play - From birth, children are eager to play. This is how they learn about their world, other people, and, most importantly, about themselves. It is playing that prepares them for adulthood. Some children face developmental challenges that limit their potential to play and learn. Our pediatric occupational therapists engage the children in therapeutic play so that they can improve all of the necessary skills that are needed in order to fully participate in the activities at home and at school.

Our occupational therapists are committed to the well-being of your child. They provide a thorough evaluation of your child, a customized treatment plan, and strategies that family members can use to help the child outside of the clinic. Treatments and strategies are derived from a combination of frames of reference, such as Sensory Integration (SI) and Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), which focus on gross and fine motor skills, visual motor and perceptual skills, communication and social skills, and the ability to optimally process sensory information. The application of these specialized techniques assists your child's development and help them to:

Increase attention to task
Become independent in self-care activities (dressing, eating, brushing teeth, etc.)
Cultivate his/her ability to follow directions and transition between activities
Improve motor coordination for play and handwriting
Enhance tolerance and enjoyment of sensory experiences
Build so interaction and communication with peers

Parents are the Experts - You know more about your children than anyone else. We rely on your expertise in order to better treat your child. Your observations and experiences of your child are valuable and critical to the treatment plan. Parents are encouraged to work in partnership with the therapists in order to carry therapeutic benefits from the clinic to the home.

We are here to assist your child to reach his/her maximum potential.
