The OT Kids Vision
The OT Kids program eclectically blends creative and innovative methodologies with traditional principles to create a fluid, dynamic and individualized treatment plan.
Core issues addressed include: sensory processing, regulation and engagement, fine motor and gross motor, visual processing, and activities of daily living. In addition, our Occupational Therapy practice places an equal emphasis on hand development from a variety of handwriting programs. For tweens and teens, goals focus on internalizing self-regulation strategies for optimal participation and learning across settings.
At OT Kids, we specialize in treating children with Sensory Processing Disorders and/or Autism Spectrum. We treat the whole child and include the entire family incorporating an eclectic, collaborative approach. Family participation during therapy sessions and home programming activities become important pieces to the child’s progress. Collaboration among parents, the educational team, and clinic based therapists is a priority to creating a comprehensive program supporting success.
