Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on assisting your child with everyday activities, routines, and “jobs” (occupations) across multiple environments. From the playground to the classroom, and every space in between. Occupational Therapy focuses on improving fine and gross motor skills. It helps children who struggle with self-regulation, sensory processing, picky eating, and overall functional life skills. Occupational therapy focuses on motor, cognitive, sensory processing, communication, and play skills.

Our OT at Therapy Smarts Inc has been such a pleasure to work with. We have seen such a vast improvement with my wild 2 year olds behavior and speech. She is very pleasant and fun loving. She really knows how to bring out the best in my son. He just loves her! He’s so excited every time she comes through the door! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her! We are very thankful for her expertise and the way she really puts her all into helping my son and making him feel comfortable while having fun and learning at the same time.
