Our programs will help kids develop age-appropriate play skills, social skills, and emotional self-regulation, improve body coordination and motor skills, and improve performance with self-care skills.  Our highly skilled and experienced occupational therapists offer a holistic, child-centered approach with fun and engaging therapy techniques to facilitate improvement in your child's fine motor skills, visual motor skills, visual perceptual skills, sensory motor skills, coordination, self-help skills, feeding skills and sensory processing deficits.
