Occupational Therapy
What is Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapists specialize in improving a child’s functional participation in their daily activities. Occupational therapists provide support for motor planning, fine motor skills, self-care, feeding skills, social/cognitive skills and sensory regulation. They are passionate about helping each child improve their level of confidence and find their way towards independence.
As a Parent or Guardian, What Can I Expect From Therapy Services?
At our outpatient pediatric therapy clinic, progress begins with strong relationships. We take time to understand your child—their personality, interests, and interactions—crafting engaging, play-based sessions that build skills naturally.
Partnering with families, we create strategies that extend beyond therapy, ensuring growth continues at home. Our sensory space offers a safe, enriching environment where children explore, regulate, and develop essential skills through movement and play. We’re here to support and empower you every step of the way.
We are proud of how our space and equipment create opportunities for children to grow, build confidence, and reach their fullest potential through play and meaningful experiences.
