Occupational Therapy (OT)
Our services
Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy provides a variety of unique and motivating activities that can help children build skills required for essential daily activities such as brushing their teeth, writing their name or playing with peers. We serve children across the lifespan ranging from infants to teenagers who demonstrate physical, cognitive, or sensory deficits.
