Occupational Therapy

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.

Our son has thoroughly enjoyed working with Move U! Kylee is fun, encouraging and creative. Our son doesn’t always want to do what Kylee wants him to but she comes up with great ideas to get him working. We highly recommend Move U!

I brought my 15 month old son to MoveU when he was falling farther and farther behind his peers in gross motor skills and had trouble tolerating everyday experiences, like changing his diaper. The folks at MoveU “figured him out” immediately, recognizing his intense sensitivity to being off-balance and helping him to better tolerate this sensation by making off-balance play fun and engaging. It felt like a miracle to watch him blossom at MoveU each week. My previously not-walking toddler is now running and playing with peers. We are so much less stressed at home, because we know our little guy is meeting milestones and having fun while doing it. We are forever grateful for the MoveU staff and would recommend them to all of our family and friends.
