Pediatric Occupational Therapy

We provide specialized evaluation and treatment to children and teens who have issues with fine motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, cognitive skills, self-care skills, and sensory-processing deficits. Our goal is to help your child be as independent as possible.

We have one focus: kids

We help kids who have a physical, sensory or cognitive disability carry out everyday activities like brushing their teeth or putting on shoes and socks. We'll evaluate your child's skills for playing, school performance and daily activities, and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group. 

We will also evaluate your child's need for specialized equipment, such as splints, bathing equipment, dressing devices, feeding utensils, and communication aids.

Types of treatment

• Eye-hand coordination skills training
• Splinting, orthotics and exercises designed to prevent deformity, restore function and build strength
