Outdoor & In-Home Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy may be right for your child if:

• You can't remember the last time your child made it through a day without a meltdown
• You are overwhelmed by your child's behaviors
• You feel stuck and haven't seen the results you're longing for
• You worry your child isn't reaching their best potential
• You're tired of doing this alone
• You long for a better relationship with your child but nothing seems to work

We focus on developing and strengthening the children we serve in the following areas:

Social Skills:

• Friendship skills (moving from solo play to cooperative play with others)
• Emotional intelligence (labeling and identifying emotions and triggers)
• Social awareness (reading social cues, realizing how to identify others' emotions)

Coping Skills:

• Calming strategies to use during big emotions
• Strategies to improve attention and focus
• Fostering perseverance and completion of non-preferred tasks

Problem Solving:

• Fostering flexible thinking and growth mindset
• Improving independence in daily tasks
• Identifying choices within healthy boundaries

Sensory Processing:

• Learning how the senses (touch, taste, sight, etc) impacts a child
• Identifying sensory triggers and understanding the child's discomfort
• Modifying tasks and surroundings in a room to promote the child's success

Together, we'll make a plan that puts your child on the road to progress. Our services can be mixed and matched to meet your family's capacity and lifestyle. In each, we listen to your concerns, explore solutions, model how to use the skills we teach, and give written handouts for future reference.

1. In-person Visits: Take place in your home or at an agreed upon location in the community (park, playground, school yard). 60 minute sessions.
2. Social Groups: Established clients have the opportunity to try sessions with 1-2 other children of similar ages and skill levels, to build skills and sense of community. 60 minute sessions.
3. Virtual Video Visits: A video platform is used in the case of clients living outside of the therapist's travel radius or household sickness. Both caregiver and child participate in the visit. 45 minute sessions.
