Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Our experienced Occupational Therapists are skilled at adapting the environment to fit the child. Our focus is everyday activities allowing your child to participate at home, school, self-care, leisure, and play. In addition to our therapy, our therapists work with families to help make sure your child is meeting age-appropriate milestones and goals. We love to develop relationships with not only the child but also with the parents, guardians, or caregivers. Occupational Therapy doesn’t end at FYZICAL, we work with Parents or Guardians on a home program for a better transition of skills into the child’s natural surroundings.

Kids love our Therapy Gym!

When Kaylin first started Occupational Therapy, she was having major meltdowns over tight clothing and her hair. Very quickly she was able to wear clothes for longer periods of time & the melt downs stopped. She can now wear shirts & pants she previously would not wear. New clothes are not an issue. She’s come a long way in a short period and loves the OT’s she has worked with.
