Our approach to pediatric occupational therapy
We take time to understand your child’s needs and develop a treatment plan with play at the center
We Start With a Comprehensive Evaluation
We perform individual evaluations including individual assessments, interviews with parents and patients, and thorough testing. Through this collaborative process, we establish personalized goals and prioritize essential functions for each child's development. This targeted approach sets the stage for an effective Occupational Therapy plan.
We Use Play
We believe in turning therapy into play, making the journey enjoyable and effective for children. Utilizing play as the core element of our Occupational Therapy sessions, we engage in purposeful activities that enhance strength, improve range of motion, and promote overall movement. This approach allows children to achieve developmental goals seamlessly, creating a foundation for lasting progress.
