About Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT)

What is Pediatric OT?

Pediatric OT can help your child fulfill their highest potential! OT helps children develop independence in everyday tasks through developing and strengthening foundational skills. These foundational skills include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, handwriting, sensory processing skills and visual processing skills.

How can OT help?

If you feel your child would benefit from Pediatric OT, but are unsure of where to begin, a free initial consultation would be a great start! Based on a thorough assessment, we can recommend a therapeutic plan for your child. we can also provide home visits* for fine motor and gross motor skills evaluation, sensory processing assessments, handwriting assessments, and more!
