What is pediatric therapy?

Pediatric therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday life—at home, at school, and in the community. Therapy is individualized and focused on functional outcomes that matter to families.

 

What is pediatric occupational therapy?

Pediatric occupational therapy evaluates and builds independence in daily tasks like dressing, feeding, toileting, play, and tabletop skills. We work to develop or rehabilitate sensory processing, self-regulation, executive functioning, fine motor skills, visual-motor integration, coordination, strength, and handwriting.

 

What happens during an initial evaluation?

An initial evaluation gathers information about your child’s strengths, challenges, daily routines, and family priorities. Evaluations guide individualized goals and treatment plans. From there, we recommend targeted interventions, coaching, or follow-up as appropriate.

 

How will I know if therapy is working?

Progress is measured by meaningful changes in participation, independence, confidence, and how skills are used in daily life—for example, improved self-care, smoother transitions, better play, or clearer communication.
