What can your child not do that you want them to do?
It is hard not to compare your child to other children. However, some children have more challenges learning to do things that come easily to others.
For young children, their “occupation” is learning and mastering new skills, such as getting dressed, playing with others, going to sleep, eating healthy foods, using the restroom, following directions, calming down when they become upset, completing a task, catching a ball, holding and using a pencil, riding a bike, and much more.
Older children are learning to focus, attend to what is important, filter out distractions, organize their things, prioritize their time, plan and carry out a variety of school and home tasks, stay calm when they are stressed and things don’t go their way, handle transitions and take schedule changes in stride, manage social expectations, etc.

Play and purposeful, research-based treatment methods help children achieve their goals when challenged with motor, sensory, social-emotional, behavioral, and self-help delays.
Young Adult Treatment Services
Young adults sometimes discover they have missed important skills during their growing-up years and seek to gain these skills in early adulthood through occupational therapy. They may have recently received diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder or Sensory Processing Disorder.
We can provide education and a safe place to practice and increase their executive functioning, coping, motor, and social skills, including work on expected/unexpected behaviors, conversation, or sensory strategies for handling stress, which leads to increased satisfaction and success in life.
