Occupational Therapy: Helping children build the skills they need for everyday life.
Every child deserves to feel confident participating in the activities that make up childhood - playing with friends, getting dressed, eating meals, learning at school, and spending time with family.
Occupational therapy helps children develop the physical, sensory, cognitive, and emotional skills they need to participate more independently in everyday life.
At Living in Motion, we believe children learn best through play and meaningful experiences. Every therapy session is individualized to each child's unique strengths, interests, and goals while using evidence-based approaches to support lasting progress.
We partner closely with families because the greatest growth happens when new skills carry over beyond the therapy room into everyday routines. Our goal is to help children build confidence, increase independence, and participate more fully in the activities that matter most.
Your child may benefit from occupational therapy if they:
Have difficulty with fine motor skills, including handwriting, cutting, dressing, or manipulating small objects.
Experience sensory processing challenges, such as being overly sensitive or under-responsive to sounds, textures, movement, clothing, or foods.
Struggle with attention, emotional regulation, transitions, or executive functioning skills like planning and organization.
Have challenges with balance, coordination, strength, motor planning, or body awareness.
Need support with self-care skills such as dressing, feeding, toileting, brushing teeth, or daily routines.
Have delays in play, social participation, independence, or school-related skills.
Have feeding or oral motor concerns, including picky eating.
Have been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, Developmental Delay, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, or another condition affecting daily function.
Are recovering from an injury, illness, or medical condition that impacts everyday activities.
You don't need to have a diagnosis to reach out
Sometimes parents simply have questions:
"Should my child be holding a pencil differently?"
"Is this sensory behavior typical?"
"Why is getting dressed such a struggle?"
"Should I be concerned about handwriting?"
"Is my child ready for kindergarten?"
Whether your child would benefit from a comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation, a developmental screening, or simply a conversation about your concerns, we're happy to help you determine the next best step.
