occupational therapy services

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapists support children in participating more fully in the everyday activities that make up their lives. Interventions address how they move, play, connect with others, manage sensory experiences, and navigate routines like self-care and transitions. The focus is always on meaningful participation and building skills within the contexts that matter most to each child and family.

Service Offerings

Support for the everyday moments your child and family is learning to navigate: play, connection, movement, self-care, and regulation. Together, we build skills for engaging in daily routines, relationships, and activities with greater ease, belonging, and confidence.

Children grow best when they feel comfortable and understood in the places that make up their world—at home, at school, on the playground, and in the neighborhood spaces where they learn and explore each day. When a child feels safe and supported in these spaces, they are more open to new experiences, connecting with others, and growing into themselves. For this reason, services are provided within the child’s everyday environments, meeting them in their various homes to evaluate and support growth right where life happens.

  • A holistic evaluation to understand your child and family’s strengths, needs (e.g. motor skills, sensory processing patterns, social communication and self-advocacy strategies), and everyday experiences. Includes a parent intake call, 1–2 in-home assessment visits, collaborative goal-setting, a written report for caregivers and providers, follow up feedback conversation to review next steps together.

  • Individualized occupational therapy services provided in the home, neighborhood, and via telehealth, focused on supporting your child’s functional development through everyday activities (e.g., play, self-care, mealtimes, transitions, organization). Sessions emphasize ongoing caregiver collaboration and partnering up to develop, refine, and confidently carry over strategies across daily life.

  • On-site observation of the child within the school environment, with thoughtful coordination with educators and support staff. Includes a written summary highlighting strengths, contextual considerations, and practical recommendations to support the child’s participation, learning, and regulation across settings.

  • A consultative service focused on the intentional design of the child’s home environment to support regulation, independence, and daily routines. Includes observation of the space and family routines, along with individualized, developmentally appropriate recommendations for environmental design, layout, sensory supports, and home modifications that promote ease and participation for both the child and family.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
