Our Services

OT Evaluations

Comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations that assess fine motor, gross motor, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and daily living skills. We provide clear findings, individualized recommendations, and a tailored treatment plan to support your child’s growth and independence.

Individual Occupational Therapy Sessions

Therapy that supports children in developing social understanding, emotional regulation, and sensory processing skills. Through structured, play-based activities, we strengthen coping strategies, flexible thinking, peer interaction, and the ability to stay regulated across different environments.

Feeding Therapy

We support children with feeding challenges caused by sensory, oral-motor, medical, or behavioral factors. Therapy is child-led and stress-free, focusing on expanding food variety, reducing aversions, improving safe swallowing, and building mealtime independence, with guidance for continued progress at home.

Preschool, K, and 1st grade Screenings

Our preschool screenings offer a brief but comprehensive look at your child’s early developmental skills. We assess fine and gross motor abilities, sensory processing, early social and emotional regulation, and pre-academic readiness needed for a smooth transition into school. Families receive clear results, recommendations, and guidance on whether additional support or a full OT evaluation would be beneficial.

Fine and Gross Motor Skills Development and Improvment

Our therapists support children in developing the strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks. Fine motor work targets skills like pencil grasp, writing, dressing, and hand strength, while gross motor development focuses on balance, running, jumping, climbing, and body awareness. Sessions use engaging, play-based activities to build confidence, improve independence, and help children participate more fully across environments.

Safe and Sound Protocol

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a research-based listening program developed by Dr. Stephen Porges to support emotional regulation, attention, and sensory processing. Using specially filtered music, the program helps individuals feel calmer, more focused, and more secure. Safe and Sound can be completed in clinic or at home. New clients receive a 45 minute consultation with our trained occupational therapist, a six month program license, and ongoing check-ins. Existing clients receive a six month program license with continued therapist support.

Do You Offer OT Sessions Outside Of The Office?

Yes, we can provide occupational therapy sessions in alternative settings such as schools, parks, or at home depending on your child's needs and our OT's availability. We typically will schedule initial sessions at our sensory gym, where we have access to specialized equipment and therapeutic tools that can’t be easily transported. If you’re interested in exploring other options, we encourage you to discuss this with your therapist to determine what’s best for your child. We also offer in-school observations and to better understand your child’s needs within their educational environment.

Do You Accept Insurance?

We are an out of network provider for all insurance companies. We begin our intake process by collecting your insurance information to verify if your plan offers any out of network benefits. We will then share this information with you to review before scheduling. If your insurance plan does offer out of network coverage, we will submit claims to your insurance on your behalf following all services received with us.
