Occupational Therapy focuses on the whole child by enhancing functional skills and improving independence with daily tasks. Children enjoy engaging in playful tasks that improve areas of difficulty by challenging them to achieve their optimum potential.
Occupational Therapy promotes cognitive, mobility, and motor skills development and provides a positive emotional environment to assist the child in meeting goals.
Our occupational therapists will design a treatment plan focusing on the child’s needs at his or her current functional level. The following diagnoses would benefit from occupational therapy:
- Autism
- Developmental Delays
- Birth injuries or congenital disabilities
- Sensory processing disorders
- Traumatic injuries affecting the brain or spinal area
- Cognitive and learning difficulties
- Down’s Syndrome
- Cerebral Palsy
- Feeding Difficulties
- Visual Motor/ Visual Perceptual Difficulties
Our Approach to Pediatric Occupational Therapy
We take a child-centered and family-focused approach to occupational therapy. Our licensed therapists begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and developmental goals. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan that’s both effective and engaging.
Depending on your child’s needs, therapy may include:
- Sensory integration therapy
- Fine and gross motor skills training
- Handwriting development
- Self-care skill building (like dressing, feeding, or hygiene tasks)
- Visual-motor and perceptual activities
- Social-emotional regulation techniques
We specialize in fine motor skills development in Collin County, Texas, helping children improve their ability to perform everyday tasks such as writing, grasping objects, and completing age-appropriate routines. Every session is built around what motivates your child—so therapy feels more like play and less like work.
