Kids’ Health & Development

Discipline(s): Occupational Therapy

Just like adults, children need skills that they use every day to plan, prioritize, organize, make decisions, play, regulate emotions, and adapt to new situations. Kids rely on these skills for everything they do, from showering and dressing themselves, to packing a backpack and doing homework.

If your child could use some support with things like daily routines or emotional regulation, our Occupational Therapists can help.

Discipline(s): Occupational Therapy

Coordination, or fine motor skills, involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child’s hands, fingers, and wrists. They are important because they support your child to perform important self-care tasks such as brushing their teeth, and will also help your child eventually learn how to write.

Movement, or gross motor skills, develop throughout childhood and refer to the complex coordination of large muscles in the body that allow a child to do activities such as running, walking, climbing, lifting or throwing.

If your child is working on:

• Coordination, including printing, drawing, or handling tools (such as pens or scissors)

• Movement, including walking, balance, lifting, throwing, or coordination

Our occupational therapists can provide assessment and guidance to build these skills so that your child can build confidence in their bodies, to support participation in the playground, gym class and other similar activities.

For parents, it can be difficult to know what developmental milestones to look for and how to support your child’s growth. That's where developmental monitoring, screening, and early intervention come in. With this service we assess your child’s communication, movement, coordination, problem solving, and emotional regulation.

We offer developmental milestone checks for children 12 months to 5.5 years. Our team of child development specialists will evaluate your child's cognitive, gross and fine movements, communication, play, and socioemotional milestones and provide age-tailored activities to support their next developmental chapter. If any concerns arise, we will make a referral for further investigation or early intervention support.

If your child needs a helping hand, our therapists can help.

Our speech and language pathologists work with children one-on-one to help them overcome problems with articulation, expressing themselves, understanding others, social communication, stuttering, and literacy.
