How We Help

Sensory Processing Difficulties

Does your child seem overwhelmed by certain sounds, textures, or movement — or maybe crave them a little too much?
Some kids experience the world in high-definition — every tag feels scratchy, every noise feels loud, or they can’t sit still because their body craves movement. Others may seem “in their own world” and miss sensory cues around them.

How OT Helps: We guide children to make sense of sensory information so they can feel calm, focused, and confident in their bodies — ready to play, learn, and engage in the world around them.

Feeding Difficulties

Is your child a picky eater — or does mealtime often feel like a battle?
Feeding challenges can show up in many ways: avoiding certain textures, eating only a few foods, gagging easily, or struggling to chew and swallow. For some children, eating can actually feel uncomfortable or scary!

How OT Helps: Our feeding therapy approach makes mealtime fun and stress-free, helping children explore new foods at their own pace while building the sensory and motor skills needed for confident eating.

Fine Motor Coordination Difficulties

Is your child frustrated by tasks like holding a pencil, buttoning clothes, or cutting with scissors?
Fine motor skills are the small but mighty movements that power independence — from writing and coloring to tying shoes and opening lunch containers.

How OT Helps: We use playful, purposeful activities to strengthen little hands and boost coordination — helping your child master the small movements that make a big difference!

Gross Motor Coordination Difficulties

Does your child avoid playground equipment, trip often, or struggle to keep up with peers in sports or games?
Gross motor skills involve the big muscle groups that help kids run, jump, climb, and balance — skills that also support posture and classroom focus.

How OT Helps: Through obstacle courses and movement-based play, we help kids improve strength, balance, and body awareness — all while having fun!

Emotional Regulation Difficulties

Does your child go from 0 to 100 in seconds — or shut down when things get too hard?
Big feelings can be tough for little bodies to manage. Emotional regulation challenges can lead to meltdowns, difficulty with transitions, or trouble calming down after excitement or frustration.

How OT Helps: We teach children to recognize body cues, practice calming strategies, and build self-regulation skills so they can feel in control — at home, school, and everywhere in between.

Executive Functioning Difficulties

Does your child struggle to start tasks, stay organized, or remember multi-step directions?
Executive functioning skills are the brain’s “management system” — responsible for planning, focusing, and following through.

How OT Helps: Using engaging, structured activities, we help children strengthen attention, working memory, organization, and problem-solving — giving them tools to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
