Occupational Therapy

Play with a variety of sensory motor equipment is at the essence of every task. Family involvement is encouraged for best carryover.  

Kid Eating Snack

Feeding Therapy

Assessment is made of the child's oral motor skill including lips, tongue and jaw, as well as the child's overall sensory processing and its impact on food textures and tastes.  

Picky eaters are encouraged to explore food through play.  Food offerings are selected to target sensory and oral motor development.  Children learn the developmental steps to mealtime in a non threatening way. 

Areas Addressed in OT

Children's skills are assessed in the following areas. Treatment plans are developed to meet each child where they are at, while challenging them to progress through a bottom-up approach.

  • Sensory Integration

  • Feeding

​

  • Balance, Strength, Coordination and Body Awareness​ (Examples:  Toe Walking, Torticollis)

We are Specially Trained in the Following Programs

Rhythmic Movement Training

Rhythmic Movement Training is a movement based, primitive reflex integration program, which uses exercises to improve a child's sensory, motor and emotional development.

Astronaut Training is a therapeutic protocol designed to improve vestibular processing, while also working on visual tracking and overall sensory processing and movement control.

ILS is a multi-sensory listening program using music and movement to support brain integration and skill-building.

Music is delivered via air and bone conduction headphones, providing auditory input to the brain and sensory input to the body.

HWT is a multi-sensory approach to handwriting.  Following a developmental sequence, fine motor and visual motor skills are practiced through fun and interactive activities. 

6

Deep Pressure Proprioceptive Technique 

DPPT is a brushing technique using tactile and proprioceptive (deep pressure input) to help the brain organize sensory input.
