Occupational Therapy (OT)

Occupational therapy gives children skills for participating in all aspects of life -- play, self-care, household tasks, school, and community participation. Pediatric occupational therapists (OTs) complete comprehensive evaluations & create customized treatment plans to help children & their families develop new skills or modify their environment(s) in order to live fulfilling & satisfying lives. Pediatric OTs utilize therapeutic activities that are meaningful to a child in order to promote physical, cognitive, social, and sensory processing skills.

Speech Therapy is a skilled treatment that focuses on speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders.

Our pediatric speech therapy sessions include structured play, parent training, and more in order to effectively target speech, language, and swallowing disorders.
