Child-led pediatric occupational therapy
Your child will have so much fun, they won't even realize it's OT
All of our pediatric occupational therapists are trained in sensory-based approaches and DIRFloortime® which means we meet your child where they are at. We connect on their level, let them guide the treatment session all while we add highly skilled intervention to improve their overall well-being and growth development. Whether your child struggles with emotional outbursts, fine motor control, body awareness, and more, this approach is highly effective and fun to engage in!
What to expect at an Occupational Therapy Treatment Session
Each session is one hour long and occurs at Move U. If it’s your first time to Move U, we encourage you to arrive 5 minutes prior to your session to get familiar with the space. Our pediatric occupational therapists will greet you as you walk in. Kids are encouraged to take off their shoes and socks while parents sit in our welcome area. Our therapist will get to know your child while doing a skilled assessment. After they begin to understand your child’s habits and interests, treatment begins!
You may see your child playing in the ball pit, however our skilled clinicians will be guiding your child through a game to improve their motor planning abilities, overcome touch sensitivities, work on posture control, and building strength. What’s unique about Move U is as a cash-based clinic, we get to customize the plan of care to your child. Our team is always re-assessing and working on new challenges. You will also notice that we get creative to meet your child’s needs. We can incorporate siblings into various sessions to improve play and socialization skills. Education is a key focus of ours so parents can expect updates after every session and helpful tips to carry over the progress into your homes!
No matter your concerns or struggles, our team is here to be an extension of your family to help improve the well-being and development of your child.
