Our Approach

A Unique Approach to Occupational Therapy

At OTchildren, we believe in harnessing the power of play to support children’s development across physical, social, cognitive, language, and emotional domains. You may find that Standardized Tests do not capture your child’s strengths or analyze the areas of need clearly enough. Our approach is designed to clarify those into measurable goals and create engaging and effective therapy experiences that empower children and support families and institutions.
Our approach play for succes

Play for Success

We understand that play is at the heart of childhood. Our activities are carefully crafted to provide challenges at the “just right” level, encouraging your child to stretch their skills without experiencing frustration they cannot overcome. Through play, children engage in meaningful challenges that promote growth and success.
Our approach acknowledge all communication

Acknowledge all Communication

Children communicate in various ways—through their voices, facial expressions, body language, and behaviors. We recognize and interpret these forms of communication to help expand your child’s ability to respond effectively. When children feel heard and understood, they show increased positive engagement, build self-esteem, and learn to manage their emotions with confidence.
Our approach inclusive family participation

Inclusive Family Participation

You are the expert on your child and we value your involvement as a parent or caregiver. Each program we offer is tailored to fit seamlessly into your family’s lifestyle, strengthening the bond between you and your child. We also include siblings and other family members in the process, recognizing their vital role as motivators. This inclusive approach fosters positive interactions throughout your child’s journey of skill enhancement.
Our approach lifelong learning

Fostering a Desire to Succeed

Every child has an innate desire to explore their world. With our guidance, we aim to ignite a passion for lifelong learning and meaningful connections with others. Grounded in trauma-informed therapy principles, we prioritize safety and security, allowing children the time they need to process challenging experiences. This thoughtful approach helps integrate new skills as stepping stones for further growth.

Clear Communication

You deserve clear information about how occupational therapy works and how it can be tailored to meet your child’s unique needs. Our approach is rooted in proven principles that prioritize engagement and trust while addressing challenges appropriately. We celebrate every small victory along the way, ensuring you see tangible progress.

Areas Where OTchildren Can Help

Navigating occupational therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Many families share similar experiences when seeking support for their children. Common concerns include:

  • Understanding Your Child’s Needs: It can be challenging to relate to your child’s unique needs or track their progress.
  • Managing Behaviors: You may worry about behaviors that seem unmanageable or feel frustrated by disabilities that are not visible to the untrained eye.
  • Seeking Help: Specific concerns may arise, such as communication delays or anxiety from schools indicating potential issues without clear guidance.

At OTchildren, we create engaging therapeutic experiences where your child feels in control while facing appropriately challenging tasks. Unlike traditional methods, we focus on nurturing positive interactions and success through play.

With extensive training in behavior modification, communication strategies, and sensory processing, we guide your child toward meaningful interactions that promote development. Our child-centered approach builds trust and encourages exploration, setting the stage for lasting growth and independence.
