Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapist with Child
Occupational Therapists help people develop and regain the necessary skills to have a meaningful and rewarding life. “Occupation” does not mean only employment, rather it may encompass anything that occupies your time. For a child or adolescent this could be playing, learning and socializing with friends. For adults it could be balancing a checkbook, having a job or getting dressed. When events in your life prevent you from completing your desired “occupations” you may benefit from participation in occupational therapy services.
While occupational therapists work with the whole lifespan, our current program is pediatric-focused.
