SOUNDS FAMILIAR?

A Redhead Little Boy With His Chin Resting On His Knuckles And His Head Cocked To The Side

My son is all over the place. He’s disorganized and clumsy. He falls apart quickly in frustration, resists change, and can’t manage in noisy or crowded places.

I want him to learn to stay calm and self regulate →

A Side View Of A Little Boy Looking Down With A Drawing Of A Hand Holding A Gear Next To Him

My child lags behind and lacks stamina. Sweet and complacent, he struggles to put on his coat, avoids joining sports activities, and complains of hand pain when writing.

I want him to be able to keep up with his peers →

A Little Girl Frowning With A Speech Bubble Next To Her Head

My daughter is having a hard time socially. Her teacher reports that she frequently fights on the playground. At home she’s rigid and needs help sorting out difficulties.

I want her to learn to make friends and get along with others →

“Is this normal?”

You want answers to your questions.
But more importantly, you want solutions.

Developing ability. Building skill. Improving behavior.

Here’s how your child’s therapy
will create real, lasting change

PINPOINT

Our therapists conduct thorough evaluations to accurately identify the root of the problem, so that therapy focuses on the exact skills needed for improvement.

PRACTICE

New skills are well-practiced in therapy, and at home with easy exercises for parents to continue. This way, we see changes faster and the new abilities become deeply acquired.

PROGRESS

We set realistic, measurable goals within a motivating environment, using games, prizes and positive encouragement to boost your child’s confidence and accelerate progress.

Child Placing A Green Cyllinder Among Rows Of Other Colored Cyllinders
Sam’s core is strengthened, his endurance is improved. He's able to categorize better, and therefore has improved understanding and improved communication skills. These are all newfound skills that he has gained directly from the OT and speech therapy he receives.

Blue Glasses Laying On A Book
During an evaluation, I commented, "David must have a hard time reading for long periods of time." Surprised, his Dad exclaimed, "Yes, How'd you know?" "Because his eye muscles are very weak." I replied.
What Dad didn't yet realize is that by locating the underlying physical weakness, we identify a straightforward fix: strengthening the weak muscle.

Therapy is effective and easily accessible,
but is it necessary?

Hear what this Mother has to say:

“My younger daughter started with therapy in first grade but my older daughter wasn’t as lucky. After graduating high school she continues struggling with the lasting impact of daily letdowns, social isolation, and lack of academic advancement. I shout out to all young parents, “Do not miss the opportunity that occupational and speech therapy can offer your child”. While I don’t blame myself, I try to save others the devastation of living with under-maximized potential.”

Hang upside down like a monkey! Supine flexion is super important for children because they need to use the muscles that they might not use all day every day. Neglecting certain muscle groups can lead to overall weakness in the body so it is important to spend a little bit of time giving some extra love to the parts of your children that might not be seeing it too often!
