Our Occupational Therapist are experienced in Sensory integration techniques, Therapeutic Listening, Handwriting Without Tears, Oral Motor and Feeding Skills including Beckman Oral Motor Intervention and Vital Stim. We provide services from birth to 21 in a variety of settings including daycare, home, school, and clinic.

 

Our staff has extensive experience and education in the treatment of children and adolescents with autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, neuro muscular disorders, sensory processing function, and a variety of genetic syndrome’s.


 Occupational therapists help individuals from infancy through adolescence improve their ability to perform everyday tasks from important self-care activities to social interaction.

Occupational therapists focus on the acquisition of developmental milestones through gross & fine motor play, development of self-care abilities, social skills, handwriting, oral motor, behavior, sensory integrative development and more.

 

Many times, Autism or children labeled as having behavior or attention problems often have underlying sensory processing problems. We help children and their parents make sense out of what may seem to them an overwhelming and chaotic world. As they gain the skills to integrate their sensory systems and process the world around them, they begin to have energy left over to concentrate on school work. They learn to identify and self regulate their activity level, can better control their behavior in a busy classroom, and the many transitions associated with a normal school day often become easier.
