We use a variety of approaches to address challenges in movement and accessing home and community. We apply our specialized clinical skills to:

• Help babies/children with movement (e.g., sitting, walking, jumping, increasing strength)
• Treat issues with muscles and bones (e.g., torticollis)
• Evaluate for special equipment if needed
• Help children become as independent as possible

Through occupational therapy, we help children gain independence in the activities of daily life with direct therapy or in small groups. Our highly trained therapists help with:

• Fine-motor skills (e.g., picking things up, gripping pencils)
• Daily living skills (e.g., dressing, hygiene, school skills, home skills)
• Feeding or eating different textures of food
• Visual motor integration/handwriting
• Sensory integration and regulation concerns (i.e., helping children control emotions in a positive way)
• Interacting with others/taking turns

We offer specialized services for children with communication and/or feeding and swallowing needs. We offer direct 1:1 therapy and group therapy for:

• Language and speech development
• Feeding/swallowing
• Organizing and processing information
• Augmentative communication (i.e., speech generating devices or low-tech communication tools)
• Social communication/engagement
