Motivating Children Towards Independence!
At Motivate Children’s Therapy, we are a team of passionate and neurodiversity-affirming occupational therapists dedicated to supporting children in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them. We offer pediatric occupational therapy services that take place in your child's everyday environments—whether that’s at home, in the community, or other familiar spaces. Our goal is to empower kids to thrive by focusing on their strengths, building essential life skills, and promoting independence—all while honoring each child’s unique needs and abilities.
Let us partner with you to support your child’s growth and development!
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday activities like play, self-care, school tasks, and social interactions. Occupational therapy helps children overcome barriers to independence, enabling them to build confidence, develop essential skills, and form meaningful connections with the world around them.
✨Motivate Children's Therapy tailors our approach to meet each child’s unique needs, creating a supportive and engaging environment for growth.✨
Is Occupational Therapy Right for Your Child?
It can be difficult to know when a child may benefit from occupational therapy. Here are some signs OT might be helpful:
Fine Motor Skills: Strengthening hand and finger coordination for activities like writing, cutting, or tying shoes.
Sensory Processing: Helping children regulate and respond to sensory input, like touch, sound, or movement, in an appropriate way.
Self-Care Skills: Teaching skills for dressing, grooming, toileting, and self-feeding to promote independence.
Feeding Skills: Encouraging exploration of foods, improving oral-motor coordination, and reducing mealtime stress for children and families.
Social, Play, and Interaction Skills: Encouraging creativity and engagement with peers and caregivers through purposeful play.
Emotional Regulation: Supporting children in managing emotions, building self-awareness, and navigating relationships.
Primitive Reflex Integration: Addressing retained reflexes to support movement, coordination, and learning development.
Visual-Motor Integration: Enhancing the connection between vision and movement for tasks like handwriting or catching a ball.
Executive Functioning: Developing skills like focus, organization, and problem-solving for success in daily life and school settings.
Parent/Caregiver Coaching: Empowering families with strategies, tools, and guidance to support their child’s progress in natural, everyday environments.
