Occupational
Therapy
Children and teens build independence through movement, play, and daily routines. When motor skills, sensory processing, attention, or self-regulation aren’t developing as expected, it can affect learning, confidence, and participation at home and school.

Occupational therapy helps children and teens develop the skills they need to engage more comfortably and confidently in everyday life.
