Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy (OT) helps individuals learn skills to lead independent lives and do the things that matter most to them. Our OT services can help support your children in areas like:
- Taking care of themselves (getting dressed or eating)
- Completing tasks at school or home
- Playing and making friends
- Moving and using their hands better
Social-Emotional Interventions
Social-emotional development is the relationships one creates with others including their ability to understand and express emotions appropriately. This includes the ability to be aware, express & manage their own feelings and how to respond to other's feelings.
Sensory Processing
Sensory processing is the process that organizes sensation from one's own body and the environment, thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. Specifically, it deals with how the brain processes multiple sensory modality inputs, such as proprioceptoin, vision, auditory system, tactile, olfactory, vestibular system, interoception, and taste into usable functional outputs.
Handwriting
Through evaluations and assessment, therapists can identify the underlying component and skills. Interventions will be based on skill development or adaptations. A variety of grips, specialized papers, and techniques are used to reach their potential.
Integrated Services
Through collaboration and our continuum of services, we utilize a team approach in order to provide individualized and person-centered services. For individuals receiving Occupational Therapy, the following departments and services are vital components of this continuum.
Speech Therapy
The speech therapy team will focus on developmental areas including talking, understanding, social interactions and engagement as well as address feeding and swallowing problems.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on important motor skills of the developing child, or young adult, such as balance, strength, coordination, and walking.
Early Intervention
Early intervention services are for children from birth through their third birthday with developmental delays in the areas of language, cognitive, physical, social, or self-help skills.
