Occupational Therapy

We recognize that every child grows and develops at their own pace. If your patient requires additional support in mastering daily skills, our dedicated pediatric occupational therapists are available to provide guidance every step of the way.

About Us

Our experienced team of pediatric occupational therapists provides compassionate care for children of all ages. We specialize in evaluating a child's neurological, musculoskeletal, cognitive, sensory and emotional development, as well as the impact of early illnesses on growth and development.

We collaborate closely with schools and other healthcare providers to support children in thriving in daily life. Based on individual needs, we focus on areas such as sensory integration, play, social skills, exercise and fine motor tasks like handwriting. We also emphasize family involvement to ensure children achieve their goals effectively and on time.

As part of our comprehensive approach, we offer functional visual assessments and home equipment evaluations. After evaluating your patient’s abilities and goals, we develop a personalized plan that addresses self-care, social skills and overall development, empowering them to reach their full potential.
