Pediatric occupational therapy helps children gain independence and promotes the development of fine motor skills, sensory-motor skills, and visual-motor skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play, and community environments.  In the case of an injury or debilitating illness, our services focus on rehabilitating children, allowing them to return to their daily routines at their highest level of function.

Our pediatric trained occupational therapists work with children through fun activities to improve their cognitive, physical, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem. We use a family-centered, goal-oriented plan of rehabilitation for the best outcome for each child.

Our highly trained occupational therapists evaluate and treat children with a variety of diagnoses that may include:

  • Autism related disorders
  • Sensory-motor disorders
  • Upper extremity (shoulder, arm, and hand) injuries including brachial plexus injuries, burns, fractures, etc.
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Developmental disabilities
  • Down Syndrome and other genetic diagnoses
  • Cerebral Palsy and other neurological diagnoses
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Delays in fine motor and visual-motor skills directly affecting academic performance
  • Self-care skills including feeding, dressing, and grooming
  • Hand strengthening and coordination skills
  • Sensory-motor processing and integration
