Here are some of the ways we are trained to help:
Sensory Integration and Regulation
Many neurodivergent people face challenges with sensory processing, which can impact the ability to effectively participate in everyday tasks. Our occupational therapists use sensory integration techniques to help individuals develop sensory regulation and improve their ability to process and respond to sensory information. Through structured activities and sensory-rich environments, we facilitate improved attention, self-regulation, and overall participation.

Fine Motor Skills Development
Fine motor skills are crucial for a person’s ability to perform tasks such as writing, cutting, dressing, and self-feeding. Our occupational therapists provide interventions and activities that target the development of fine motor skills, including hand-eye coordination, dexterity, grasp patterns, and manipulation skills. We use patient-centered approaches and adaptive strategies to make therapy engaging and enjoyable for children and adults!
Gross Motor Skills and Coordination
We address gross motor skills and coordination through a variety of interventions, exercises, and activities. Our therapists focus on developing the strength, balance, coordination, and motor planning skills necessary for individuals across the lifespan to participate in activities of daily living! We create a supportive and motivating environment that encourages our patients to explore and enhance their gross motor abilities.
Visual Perceptual Skills
Visual perceptual skills are essential for tasks such as reading, writing, puzzles, and understanding spatial relationships. Our occupational therapists work to improve visual processing, visual memory, visual-motor integration, and visual tracking skills. We incorporate stimulating activities and games to enhance visual perception and support academic performance.
Social, Play, and Leisure Skills
Play is a vital aspect of a child’s development; leisure and social skills improve the quality of life for our adult patients! All are important for fostering creativity, social interaction, and problem-solving abilities. Our therapists utilize client-centered interventions to facilitate these skills. We create a supportive environment where our patients can develop self-awareness, build relationships, advocate for themselves, and enhance their overall social-emotional well-being.
Assistive Technology and Adaptive Equipment
When appropriate, we provide recommendations and training on the use of assistive technology and adaptive equipment. These tools can help individuals overcome barriers and increase independence in daily activities. Our occupational therapists guide patients and their caregivers in utilizing assistive devices that support their specific needs, such as adaptive utensils, writing aids, or sensory tools.
Self-Care Skills
Our occupational therapists can help patients develop self-care skills such as feeding, grooming, dressing, grooming, bathing, meal preparation, toileting, and household tasks. We use a family-centered approach to support parents and caregivers in helping our patients develop these important life skills.
