We offer a multitude of therapy options for children and adolescents to ensure they have the necessary skills and confidence for daily life. Your child might benefit from speech therapy to support their ability so advocate for their needs or create and nurture social relationships. Using a sensory integrative frame of reference in occupational therapy may help your child understand their body in space, manage their emotions, and navigate the world around them. Children with who are struggling during mealtimes or are ‘picky eaters’ may benefit from feeding therapy to support growth and nutrition. Our selection of therapies and programs includes the following:

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on foundational skills to allow children to participate in meaningful activities with greater ease. Through an initial assessment, therapists gather insights to create individualized treatment plans for each client and their family. These plans aim to enhance motor skills, including fine, gross, and oral motor abilities, while also improving coordination, balance, and organizational skills. We use a sensory integrative approach to allow the child to better understand their body in space and how to navigate their environment safely and effectively. The goal is to support independence in daily life and improve overall confidence and self-worth.

Speech Therapy

Our speech-language pathologists offer targeted therapy to address issues affecting language development. Through speech therapy, clients gain essential communication skills that enhance their ability to interact at school, home, and social environments. This personalized approach equips kids with the tools they need to thrive in daily life.

Feeding Therapy

Our occupational therapists work with children of all ages to support healthy eating habits and mealtime experiences. We help kids develop the skills needed to eat a wider variety of foods and foster positive relationships with food. Strategies may include sensory, motor, or behavioral approaches tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Sensory Integration

An individual learns about the environment through information from the senses. Sensory integration is an ongoing, fluid process within the nervous system of taking in and responding to sensory events. Adequate sensory processing is necessary to provide a foundation for the development of regulatory cycles and functional arousal states, as well as refined gross and fine motor development, motor planning, and the ability to move safely and efficiently through space. Through personalized therapy sessions, our expert therapists work with children using engaging, interactive techniques to address areas of vulnerability. We also provide parents with practical strategies to support progress at home, helping children build the skills they need to navigate their world with confidence.
