To improve the quality of life for children and their families through the acquisition of skills that foster intrinsic drive and security to participate fully with self, family, and community through each stage of development.
Sensory Integration is the approach for children who are challenged by transitions between environments, textures, sounds, and movement. The goal is to improve processing of incoming information from the environment to produce outcomes that maximize learning, relationships, and development of self.

Feeding and swallowing are complex processes that allow foods and liquids to safely and pleasurably be consumed without choking, gagging, or aspirating. Advanced skills in both clinical reasoning and interventions are necessary to help children progress through an array of food textures and liquids. We will help your child intake necessary volume and variety for growth and development. We are one of the only facilities to offer both oral and pharyngeal interventions.
Children with muscular imbalances or difficulty learning to use both sides of the body in space can benefit greatly from NDT interventions. We are advanced in re-training the child to use their right, left, upper, and lower extremities and combine patterns to gain capacity in mobility, play, and functional skills. Cultivating proper ski
Children with muscular imbalances or difficulty learning to use both sides of the body in space can benefit greatly from NDT interventions. We are advanced in re-training the child to use their right, left, upper, and lower extremities and combine patterns to gain capacity in mobility, play, and functional skills. Cultivating proper skills for a natural progression will allow growth to propel through each developmental stage.
Understanding the neurology of how the brain develops higher level thinking, processing speeds, nuances of spoken and unspoken language can be the difference in success with academic and advancement and interpersonal success. This highly recognized avenue of intervention can transform a child's learning skills using neurological organizing rather than remedial strategies.
Unforeseen or unfortunate events can happen to any child.

Unforeseen or unfortunate events can happen to any child. Home disruptions, divorce, surgeries and procedures, accidents or other significant events can all affect the ability identify and regulate emotions in a functional way. Predisposed defensiveness, shyness, introverted traits, or anxieties will affect a child's resilience and thereby the bodies natural chemical balances. OTs are perfectly positioned to address emotional health and attachment through multli-medium play, reflexes, and body work.
At a foundational level, with some observed as early as in-utero, reflexes teach our bodies. Specific stimuli lead to specific responses that develop movement in the limbs, trunk, mouth and eyes.

At a foundational level, with some observed as early as in-utero, reflexes teach our bodies. Specific stimuli lead to specific responses that develop movement in the limbs, trunk, mouth and eyes. Integration of each reflex along the developmental continuum provides a conglomerate of secondary benefits. This allows a person to gain complete control of movement, emotional securities, and ocular control at a subconscious, lower brain level. Integrating these imperative movement patterns into the lower brain allows the child to no longer cognitively override their innate tendencies and instead begin to build upon their emotional, cognitive, and functional skills.
Hippo refers to the use of a horse as a medium to provide and enhance therapeutic techniques. The three dimensional movement of a horse most closely approximates the pelvic fluidity required for an optimal human gait. Use of hippotherapy provides sensory, bilateral motor, dynamic strengthening, and unparalleled relationship-based intervention that can be a valued asset for nearly any child.

Water alleviates many of the debilitating effects of gravity and speed which allows children to practice land based clinic skills, and generalized components in a playful manner. Sensory defensive, fearless, and dyspraxic children have especially large improvement through therapeutically facilitated intervention in the water. Also, regardless of the massive therapeutic benefits, all children need to learn to swim and control movements in the water while free from fear. This reduces risk of drowning and encourages life long leisure opportunities.
There is an intimate relationship between the auditory, visual, and vestibular (movement) systems. Our staff has training with Therapeutic Listening, ILS (Integrated Listening Systems), Forebrain, and Interactive Metronome that can be blended into tasks that develop body scheme, processing, temporal timing, and regulation skills.
Fine motor skills refer to use of hands for play, academics, and self care skills. The progression of hand function should be systematic and controlled, resulting in precise abilities and manipulation that can be utilized for coloring, opening containers, writing skills, buttoning clothing, and tying shoes.

Fine motor skills refer to use of hands for play, academics, and self care skills. The progression of hand function should be systematic and controlled, resulting in precise abilities and manipulation that can be utilized for coloring, opening containers, writing skills, buttoning clothing, and tying shoes. Addressing any deficits in these areas can help prevent future feelings of frustration, avoidance, or damage to self esteem that accompanies fine motor difficulties as children grow older.

Gross motor and mobility begin at infant stages with learning to roll both directions, transitioning into sitting, transitioning into crawling, walking, running, and advanced motor plans such as skipping and bike riding. The successful progression is more complicated than strength; it requires blended efforts with multiple groups of muscles and coordinated use of arms, legs, and eyes. Mastery of gross motor skills appears as freedom exploration and self challenge at home, on equipment, playgrounds, and toys.
Visual acuity refers to the clarity of the eyes to see, whether with or without glasses /lenses. Visual motor is not correlated with the need for glasses. It is the ability to see objects, see shapes, recognize position in space, follow moving objects, track lines for reading, or copy forms. Deficits in this area have a significant eff
Visual acuity refers to the clarity of the eyes to see, whether with or without glasses /lenses. Visual motor is not correlated with the need for glasses. It is the ability to see objects, see shapes, recognize position in space, follow moving objects, track lines for reading, or copy forms. Deficits in this area have a significant effect on learning abilities, reading skills, constructional play, and even can result in children appearing clumsy as they may perceive environmental obstacles with decreased precision.
Our therapists have over 70 years worth of combined experience with extensive post graduate education to advance our skill platforms. We provide a broad range of techniques for individualized care, meeting each child's needs.
