PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Rooted in Ayres Sensory Integration®. Guided by Clinical Expertise. Centered on Your Child.
Our occupational therapy approach goes beyond simply practicing skills. We focus on the underlying sensory and motor foundations that support a child's ability to move, learn, play, regulate emotions, and participate confidently in everyday life.
OUR MISSION:
Our Mission As Occupational Therapists is to provide highly skilled evaluation and treatment to children of all ages. We believe that early intervention at a child’s developmental level, not their diagnosis, is the key to facilitating growth and helping them learn and perfect activities of daily living. Our OT’s look at a child as a whole in order to individualize and develop the underlying layers that foster higher level learning. Children have an inner drive to do their best and our OT’s will use a holistic treatment model to help them build their self-esteem and reach their fullest potential.
THE PROCESS:
As Occupational Therapists, we see children develop behaviorally, motorically, and socially as an integrated process. Children develop environmental processing through their senses This process occurs from birth and continues to refine itself for a lifetime.
Our comprehensive Occupational Therapy Evaluation will give you an overall picture of your child’s abilities in terms of strengths and deficits (areas of need). During our initial evaluation process we will get to know your child, complete parent/caregiver feedback forms, gather clinical observations of your child’s abilities, behavior & motor scales, and administer standardized testing.
Our holistic approach puts together valuable information regarding your child’s sensory processing abilities and how that impacts, gross motor, fine motor, praxis, self-help, attention to task, behaviors, regulatory, and social abilities. More in depth testing can include reflex integration, auditory processing, ocular motor, visual perception, etc. If treatment is warranted, our OT’s will customize a treatment plan specific to your child’s developmental levels.
1. The Just-Right Challenge
Grounded in the pioneering work of Dr. A. Jean Ayres, our approach uses Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) to create individualized, play-based therapeutic experiences. Through swinging, climbing, balancing, and purposeful movement, our therapists provide the just-right challenge—activities that are challenging enough to promote growth while allowing children to experience success.
