Too often, a speech disorder keeps a child from making their ideas and wishes known, and that challenge can result in frustration and misbehavior. We give children the tools they need to overcome their communication challenges and get their ideas out in the world. We love seeing the joy on a child’s face the first time they are understood.

Occasionally a child’s behavior can come out in a negative way without us knowing why; affecting their everyday life. This can be due to underlying issues such as lack of confidence from skills such as fine motor, sensory integration or gross and visual motor tasks. Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps to identify and improve those skills to increase the child’s independence at home, school and unfamiliar environments, so they can hold their head up high during those little or big victories by accomplishing tasks on their own. We are here to advocate for your child so they can feel independent in age appropriate tasks and thrive in any environment.

Parents play a critical role in their child’s development, and that role is even more important when a communication disorder or physical challenges are involved. Parents want the best for their child, but they, too, need coaching and tools to give the right support. We work with parents to give them the confidence they need to help their children successfully navigate therapy. Most importantly, we help parents find joyful moments with their child while they work towards attainable therapy goals.
