What is OT?

Pediatric occupational therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping children develop skills to thrive in their daily activities. What sets it apart from other therapies is its holistic approach - addressing not just physical abilities, but also cognitive, emotional, and sensory elements impacting a child's performance. I follow an empowerment model that respects a child’s lived experience, values cultural priorities, and fosters self- determination.

Skills of Occupational Therapy

Movement Milestones

Providing support for your child to meet and/or catch up to functional movement milestones such as sitting, crawling, walking, and exploring their environment with confidence.

Building self regulation and a thriving sensory system for your child to tolerate, adapt, and thrive in their daily life. Addressing challenges such as tantrums, inattention, over response, and picky eating.

ADL Independence

Helping your child become independent in dressing, bathing, toileting, dental care, and daily routines both inside the home and within the their community.

  • Every child has the capacity to be everything.

    Doris Lessing

  • Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.

    Maria Montessori

  • Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.
