Pediatric occupational therapists work with children and their families to promote functional independence in all their "occupations" - and for children, their occupations are activities that enable them to learn and develop life skills, be creative and play, and thrive in their relationships with others. These include getting dressed, socializing with peers, participating in mealtime, working through routines, going to school. Therefore, occupational therapists work with children and their families who are having difficulty participating in one or many of these areas while also staying true to the uniqueness of each child. 


We are passionate about easing the overwhelm and taking the guess work out of trying to figure out where do I even begin? We have spent years supporting families, connecting with other providers, and being involved in the local community so that we can best support YOU, your child, and your family. Once you work with us, you can breathe easy, knowing you are in trusted hands with the best of intentions. 


Common Areas We Focus On: 

  • Developmental Delays 
  • Challenging Behaviors  
  • Sensory Processing Disorder 
  • ADHD 
  • Autism 
  • Complex Trauma 
  • Feeding Disorders 
  • Anxiety 
  • Fine + Gross Motor Delays 
  • Visual Deficits 

Family Coaching Services

What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Family Coaching is not traditional direct intervention. Instead, this coaching model aims to support children by empowering and encouraging their caregivers. Using a routines-based approach, we work closely with a child's caregiver(s) to understand that child, their day-to-day life, and the family's unique rhythms and culture. From there 

Family Coaching is not traditional direct intervention. Instead, this coaching model aims to support children by empowering and encouraging their caregivers. Using a routines-based approach, we work closely with a child's caregiver(s) to understand that child, their day-to-day life, and the family's unique rhythms and culture. From there we are able to offer highly individualized and meaningful suggestions, tips, and strategies to maximize a child's independence and ability to move through their day with ease and joy. Sessions take place without the child and we typically will meet in the home or at a local coffee shop. A report is generated and sent to the family after each coaching session, and the occupational therapist will check in with families between each session. Some families benefit from a one-time initial family coaching session while other find their best support from ongoing coaching sessions. We specialize in working with families whose children are 0 to 6 years old.
