Who We Are…
A team of Occupational therapy professionals providing pediatric therapy services for children from birth to adulthood. Recognizing that each child is unique and every family is different, we strive to provide highly individualized therapy services to support their needs and empower them the best we can.
Why come to us?
We work with parents as equal partners to provide children with the best support they need. We believe parents spend more time with children than us therapists, and therefore we follow a holistic and collaborative approach with them to achieve success with the goals set for their child. We do so by training parents and providing them with child-specific home programs and strategies, to enable them to practice and build on the skills that the child learns during therapy.

Evidence-Based Practice : Using effective research based treatment interventions while considering patient preferences, needs and values.

FAQ’s
What referral do I need to receive Occupational Therapy?
You don’t need a referral to visit an OT. However you can be referred for OT by a developmental pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist who may first diagnose a particular developmental disability or if the child may be at risk for the same. However, parents, school teachers and significant other caretakers or professionals working with the child may also refer the child for OT evaluation if they notice some red flags.

- Evaluations and assessments

- Individualized on-going therapy services
- Teletherapy
- Intensive
