Occupational Therapy 
Services for Ages
Birth to 21 Years Old

We support children, teens, and families to learn, play, and thrive– building foundational skills to successfully navigate daily life!

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages to participate in activities or “occupations” that they want and need to complete– in order to function at the highest level possible.   For infants, toddlers, and young children, occupations are activities that enable them to learn, play, and interact with caregivers and peers.  Older children and teen’s tasks expand to include friendship, executive function skills, transition to work, and higher education.

What Sets Us Apart

Generalizing and transferring skills from one setting to another is essential! While services primarily occur in the clinic setting, therapy may also be completed in the natural settings of home, community, or daycare depending upon the individual needs and situations of each child/family.  Not all insurance companies allow services outside the clinic setting without specific requirements being met.  Ask us for more information.
