About Occupational Therapy

The “just-right challenge” for every child

We focus on creating permanent neurological changes that facilitate optimal functioning in self-care, learning, behavioral control and social interactions.

Our sessions are playful and success-oriented. With each activity we aim for the “just-right challenge,” building both skills and self-efficacy. Parent coaching is integral to our approach.
