Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy services improve the skills of children and families so they can better participate in daily activities they need and want to engage in.
​
Parent/caregiver involvement is essential in pediatric therapy. I partner with caregivers during therapy to facilitate interventions, ensure understanding, and for greater support of home-programs which are a part of treatment.
Pediatric Pelvic Floor
​
-
Bowel and bladder issues impact many children - but you do not have to go-it alone! If your child is experiencing:
-
Chronic contipation
-
Refusal to use the toilet
-
Day time leakage
-
nighttime wetting
-
urgency to pee
-
difficulty or straining when pooping
-
other toileting/bathroom issues
-
​
Then Pelvic Floor Therapy may be right next step for your child!
Picky Eating and Food Aversions
​
-
Are meal times difficult for your child? Is your child refusing certain foods or having meltdowns around mealtimes? I can help you figure out what's going on and help you improve your child's routines, their oral motor skills, and their sensory tolerance.
​
-
I am trained by the Sequential Oral Sensory (S.O.S) Approach to Feeding Program and use a child-led responsive technique to improve feeding skills
Developmental Life Skills
​
Some children don't begin to take an active role in self-care due to sensory, social, motor, or routines-based issues.
I can help you get on track with understanding your child's developmental level and setting up routines to help them succeed with skills including:
-
Dressing
-
Socializing
-
Playing
-
Moving their body
-
Hygiene (tooth brushing, hair brushing)
